Going DEEP....

[Ed Wright]

It does not effect the car's acceloration rate or speed. It effects the indicated et. It does not make your car slower.
It is illegal. If you have to do that to win rounds, you need to work harder.

I think this is why Ed has a problem understanding going deep.

I dont see any problem with a person deep staging against me as long as they were held to the same time frame and it was up to them to get in there. Only time I recall deep staging was if I had to race the tow vehicle! I think I still left when the second yellow went out LOL. Big tires and a slow vehicle so I guess some of the U cars or front drivers could be in this boat. ( or guys that didn't gear or build their cars to react quick enough)
I don't see why anyone would care what the other cars dial in would be either. It is on the window so it is what it is. They still have to figure it out and run it.

if this is really an issue for some, why not put it to NHRA as a proposal. If it involves only a few people, maybe it won't change, but if there really are enough racers that want it and there is little opposition, why not?

Crying about it here won't change it. Especially when there aren't but a few wanting it. Do some work and make it easy for NHRA to consider it. Who knows?

As far as the polls go from NHRA, I don't think any of them were administered very well.
If you had the raw numbers from them, I bet it was a very small participation number.

Again I don't deep stage. I am just mind blown how uneducated on bracket racing yall are. Other than class it is a bracket race!

Correct me of I am wrong again but wouldn't a gear change do exactly the same ed??I go from 529 to 430 it appears to have slower et but the mph gain is quite a bit??

I'm not surprised how uneducated some class racers are and this is exactly why DEEP was banned, they don't have a clue! Many of the same group still don't know how autostart works either with their cries about double bulbing.

If you had two cars that ran 10.00 every pass, and the drivers always cut identical lights, ran dead heats every time, both shallow staged.

Then one deep stages to kill a tenth, they run heads up again. Do you really think the deep staged car that now shows a 10.10 on the clocks is going to get out run by about a car length by the shallow staged car that runs yet another 10.00?

That is exactly what would happen.

How is rolling in further, which is actually a very small head start, going to make that car lose a heads up by a car length?

Because if they leave at the exact same time, the deep staged car will red lite (assuming the shallow staged car has a good light).

The shallow staged 10.00 car with a .000 light will start moving before the deep staged 10.10 car with a .000 light.
