Going DEEP....

The shallow staged 10.00 car with a .000 light will start moving before the deep staged 10.10 car with a .000 light.[/QUOTE]

Exactly, effectively giving the shallow staged car the head start.

Not sure what point you're making, but they both exit the starting line beam at exactly the same time, thereby starting the clocks at exactly the same time. The shallow car has a rolling head start, thereby giving him a quicker ET.

I agree Mark.

I was actually addressing Ed's statement that the deep staged car would have the head start.

Ed Wright, with all due respect...you know nothing about deep staging. Reading your posts about this subject reminds me of Mark Twain. Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool,than to open it and remove all doubt. MJ

Thank you I couldn't find the right words to use other than clueless idiot. I didn't want to say that.

There are many more like him.

Typically, the primary purpose of going deep is to allow a driver of a slower car the ability to still leave off the 3rd amber. Correct?

One can still get awful close by counting the number of bump in's to get deep after lighting the staged light, then subtract one or two. Yes, not quite as precise as actually turning off the prestage but again, darn close. I would think the difference could be made up with car adjustments.

Kind of the 'pert near deep but not officially deep.
