Going DEEP....

That what I believe. Shallow stage and get a .040, and it will be a 9.88. But you have to keep that top bulb on, so you taking a gamble if you have to roll in.

Eliminating going deep will be a disadvantage to those who did it because it takes away the ability to precisely locate the car. So the option now is flicker shallow and stop or flicker and count bumps. Not sure how many racers this would affect and it is surprising how many are all over the place anyway. But it does take away a visual indicator of precise location which is unfortunate.
