I dont see any problem with a person deep staging against me as long as they were held to the same time frame and it was up to them to get in there. Only time I recall deep staging was if I had to race the tow vehicle! I think I still left when the second yellow went out LOL. Big tires and a slow vehicle so I guess some of the U cars or front drivers could be in this boat. ( or guys that didn't gear or build their cars to react quick enough)
I don't see why anyone would care what the other cars dial in would be either. It is on the window so it is what it is. They still have to figure it out and run it.

if this is really an issue for some, why not put it to NHRA as a proposal. If it involves only a few people, maybe it won't change, but if there really are enough racers that want it and there is little opposition, why not?

Crying about it here won't change it. Especially when there aren't but a few wanting it. Do some work and make it easy for NHRA to consider it. Who knows?

As far as the polls go from NHRA, I don't think any of them were administered very well.
If you had the raw numbers from them, I bet it was a very small participation number.
