I've never understood that rule,but i do know it's one of the easest ways to rattle your competition and i used to do it all the time when they allowed motorcycles to run in S/Pro.

Zip, your just showing our age. When everybody ran deep staging, 4 tenths tree, and we wanted to run a tenth faster et, all you had to do was shallow stage and Bam you just ran a tenth faster.. How I miss the good ole days..
HAHa,

I hope i keep on showing my age for a long time, i saw the Greek, qualified for the NHRA show last weekend. I actually knew Kris in the 60's, in fact bought a set of his used slicks for a $100.00, also bought slicks from the Gusler top Fuel dragster. That was when i was running a blown sm/blk chey in a 56 t'bird. The announcer put his age at 79/80 yrs. old, i've got 9/10 yrs. to catch him and will continue to race as long as i can, in fact i was at the track last nite T&T, next race next sat. at Twin Cities, $2500.00 payout for s/pro 1/8 mi. race.

Zip.
