Going DEEP....

Signman · 12-02-2015, 10:42 AM

Bracket racers who are deep staging with 9 second cars are doing it because they are more comfortable.
Most of the psychological advantages were taken away when it became obvious even to blind persons what was going on.

Agree there are some cars / combinations that may not be able to hit the tree but before asking for a rule change every area of the car should be examined to speed up the car the first 12" of the run whether that be up or forward. May have to spend son cash on parts though......

A prominent racer asked me how I hit the tree in an 11 second car, he felt he could not, told him in my car he would have no problem.
