You know YAC, once upon a time deep staging, blinders and two steps were all legal. So some NEWBIES decide to race stock eliminator knowing full well that deep staging, blinders and two steps are permitted. Kinda reminds me of the JACKAZZES that buy homes near the Bandimere race track in Denver and then complain about the noise …:mad::mad:

I like to keep it simple and just race, it doesn't matter to me if it's a 7 second dragster or a 20 second street car..I'm in. Brian Seaberg
Brian, I realize that you didn`t run Waldos old B/S Mustang all that much, but are you saying that when you did race it, you removed the 2 step from that car, or at least disconnected it?

In hopes of not starting a fight and just trying to educate myself on class history, what was the reasoning for taking out deep staging?

Too time consuming.

Jody Lang, Toby Lang, Scott Welborn , and other assorted drivers that went rounds deep staging ……

I thought it was perceived that no mater what the deep stagers competition did staging, the starter would not activate the tree until the deep stager was ready.

It's not much of an advantage, but I believe it is an advantage.

I BELIEVE that in bracket racing the deep-stager must pre-stage first. After the shallow-stager pre-stages, the deep-stager must stage and after the shallow-stager stages the deep-stager can go deep. AND he must have DEEP on his window.
Does that make any sense?
Larry, try getting an Escort or a Cavalier to "react" sometime. I've never really had much of a problem with staging shallow but some Racers do.

You know me Billy I would probably do it a little differently. Remember I do race a pentastar car

At the big bucks foot brake races where deep staging is common the starters are more alert. You can put DEEP on your window at local tracks and the starter activates the tree early you’re NOT going to get a rerun. For that reason alone I haven’t deep staged in 30 years, find a way to cut a light or go home.

Hi Rory, yes I did use the 2 step and that's one of the many reasons why I hardly ran it and I sold it....
