deep staging

[GTS340]

As long as there is a courtesy pre stage and time out. Who cares. If I have to alter my staging for 3 out of 50. I guess those 3 need to alter theirs.

While on the subject of perceived advantages or disadvantages in the rules, let’s talk about the 170 lbs. driver. I’m my car drivers seat is an extra 130 lbs. The extra weight screws up the balance of the car: right side left side, front to rear. It’s totally an unfair advantage for someone that weighs 150 lbs. My solution is have 300 lbs in all the seats. If you weigh 200 lbs. you would have to add 100 lbs. weight under the seat to make it fair. To keep things fair the weight would have to placed no further rearward than the door post.

Sounds fair to me

Back in the old days, when I race my 64 Max Wedge A/SA
they did not include the drive when they weighed the car.
I was 280 and one of my competitors was maybr 120 dripping
wet (A whole class difference in weight). It annoyed the crap out
of ne so I went to the Gym and got all the way down to 170.
Then the rule box came out and they add 170 for a driver to
what car had to weigh and included driver in the car.

Probably did add 20 years to my life though.

Time to change baits Bob! They quit biting.
