As a shallow stager in everything I race (including an 18.xx second pickup truck) I have never tried the deep staging thing...and it never bothers me when the guy in the other lane is going deep. Even in the Pinto, which is definitely a "slow stocker" by all accounts of the definition. However, I do think it is strange for this process to be completely outlawed in this class. But I wasn't an active driver yet whenever these rules came about...I was still just cutting my teeth in the Jr. Dragster ranks so when I raced stock for the first time I understood that the rule was such.

Hey Ellis,...I was watching my buddy Bob Mullaney,at Piedmount over Thanksgiving
On Motormania.Bob was just one of many that we're going deep as you said in fast cars.P.S. In 1998 Bob was the Division 1 stock champ,driving a 13.80 wagon.Going Deep and a 2 step( cheater)....correct me if I'm wrong ..but I believe it maybe the slowest car to win the Division....Also it was a car I was proud to be part of.....Joe Mocci
