Going DEEP....

[Festus]

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.

One thing that has not been brought up as an argument against Deep staging, and I'm surprised it has not been, is how someone can hide as much as a tenth of et as it pertains to hp factors in class racing. Someone who is trying to slow down trying not to go more than a second under and has all the allowable weight in could use this to their advantage.
