Here in Div One deep staging is allowed, I personally don`t but several guys in my Class do. The guy who finished #1 in Points at my track, Won the Bracket Finals and went to Pomona deep stages. His routine rattled me at first, he does a quick short burn out and stages real fast, it throws a lot of guys off. After losing to him a couple of times, I just block him out of my mind, ignore his staging routine and do my own thing. I`ve raced him a few times and Won a couple. We both run 11.50s ( slowed down from 10s) but he has a slow 60ft( high 1.70s) and big mph (120) I have a good 60ft ( 1.52-54) and not so big mph ( high 114)its fun to race him, I`m out on him by 2-3 car lengths and at the stripe he`s right there next to me.
