Lol... Sorry Michael I couldn't stop myself!

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Is it ok to deep stage again in nhra and ihra again?

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Yes Mickey it is OK to go deep....all the bracket racers can do it, the pros can do it ...however because of the vocal majority of WHINERS in NHRA when you go deep ..be careful cause you can't turn the top bulb off. Some of the racers in the other lane just lose it and can't concentrate any more when that top staging bulb goes out......LOL......

Re: Going DEEP....
 

you are right mj just like taking the 2 step button off the steering wheel

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Thanks Ed for your wisdom, expertise and
valueable input on this matter !!!! ;)
Hopefully this clears it up for all.

I guess humor doesn't resonate with some of the people who inhabit Class Racer.
BTW I had plenty of input when this topic first was debated. I was one of those deep stagers who was against eliminating it. But I moved on and worked to adapt. It worked out well for me. I had some very successful years as a low buck lower class racer.
As Ed O would say "have a nice day".

Re: Going DEEP....
 

To me it is simple. Reaction time plus et equals actual et. You go deep your reaction time is less but you et is greater. The actual et which is a combination of ET and reaction time pretty much stays the same. I run S/G, and if I cut a .02 lite and run a 9.90, then I roll in and get a .00 lite, I will run 9.92. That what I believe. Shallow stage and get a .040, and it will be a 9.88. But you have to keep that top bulb on, so you taking a gamble if you have to roll in.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Eliminating going deep will be a disadvantage to those who did it because it takes away the ability to precisely locate the car. So the option now is flicker shallow and stop or flicker and count bumps. Not sure how many racers this would affect and it is surprising how many are all over the place anyway. But it does take away a visual indicator of precise location which is unfortunate.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

There is no advantages to deep staging or shallow staging. Deep will just allow the racers with lower class cars to hit the tree a bit better.
Bottom line the rich don't want the poor competing in this class.
