Take deepstaging away....same drivers still win.
Take Buttons away, same drivers still win, probably more so. A button may make a good driver better but it also makes a bad driver decent..... kind of like a delay box, it somewhat evens it up a little bit.

Chip, Beard etc, you guys should realize best that most of the best stock racers (bertozzi, biondo, fletcher) grew up and dominated footbraking. Look at some of the archives at the local tracks and look at some of the reaction times of these guys going off the footbrake.

The fact is those big footbrake races (with buybacks) are more rounds and less money to win (after splits) than winning a national event. Even the BIGESST footbrake race EVER which took place on sunday which was won by Scotty Richardson, paid him $22,000 after the splits while on the same day Peter Biondo and Brad Plourd were winnning a national event worth $16,000 in california going off the same bottom yellow. Now take the double buyback 10k or 20k footbrake races which end up going 9 or 10 rounds and only paying 8k to 12k after splits and you do the math.

I am not taking anything away from the footbrake races as they are great but after you do the math and splits, they aren't as worth going to as the flyers show.
