Mike, I believe you are mistaken about this. This subject I took it was footbrakers who deep stage not delay box racers. Every time I watched Bob on TV he was footbraking and always deep staged. I Deep stage my street car and I have problems at one of the tracks that will not honor the time to deep stage. I don't mean dragging your feet, I mean on the converter before the first light is lit and constant roal forward untill deep. The time given to some deepstagers on TV would not work at my track. But, I would not outlaw it at all. Put it on the window and stage up. I remember the saying "Deep Staging in Not a Crime" Take care.
