At the big bucks foot brake races where deep staging is common the starters are more alert. You can put DEEP on your window at local tracks and the starter activates the tree early you’re NOT going to get a rerun. For that reason alone I haven’t deep staged in 30 years, find a way to cut a light or go home.

It sounds like they did find a way to cut a light, but some didn't like it. Racers have pushed against rules since the start of time. Rule interpretation is the corner stone of drag racing. Always has been, always will be.

and "since the start of time" until fairly recently, NHRA Tech pushed back. Which is sorely missing here in the 3rd decade of the 21st century.
