Just to mention an article done in a magazine in the 70s I believe. It tested the et affects of a standing start, running start or rolling start. The first revolution of the tire is the most costly et wise. So I suggest that shallow staging takes the most of that portion of your et out of the actual recorded time. Deep staging causes your recorded time to include more of that slow rotation but you break the beam relatively earlier in your progress forward which makes the slow rotation part of your et. I am not sure how this would affect your race or cause you to look slow compared to dial in.
