You put on the pre-stage bulb, move forward and put on the stage bulb, then move even further to put out the pre-stage bulb. Ballpark it quickens you RT by .10, and slows your 60' and ET by .10. Deepstaging reduces the rollout. In the 12.0 class on a .500 pro tree, reaction times are going to suck if everyone has to footbrake shallow. If you forbid deep staging and trans brakes how will you deal with the savy racers who will go shallow then take a BIG bump? If you do allow deep then you will have to decide honored or not. Honored the deep stager puts "DEEP" on the car and the starter holds the tree. Not honored no "DEEP" on the car and the deep stager is on their own. Personally I love to race deep staged where it's allowed but not honored. IMO for this event I think you should allow and honor deep staging. Not everyone has a trans brake so I can see not allowing that.
