Thanks Michael Beard for your post as their was way too much incorrect stuff being thrown out here....


Deep staging was used by a few racers well know here on the east coast. And they won a ton of $$$ and races doing it....

LONG before any of us knew why or how they could do this successfully..

I can remember racing one of the best a few times and since I close one eye and blocked the other side of the tree with my free hand.....the last thing I saw was the top light going out on the other side.......It was always a challenge wondering why they were deep staging but I ignored it and focused on what I was doing....

Deep staging WAS allowed in S/G and S/ST at the beginning of those categories......We all learned very quickly how much that changed your RT and ET.....and also other things in a car that had a big effect on RT's...
