Seriously though....IF I get to be there.....I don't expect or even hope to win. (Don't take that as sounding like I'm not competitive or don't think I'm capable!)
I would just be in it to go some rounds (hopefully more than one...lol) and have fun. Meet new friends. Help out where I could.....AND Hopefully not break anything. lol
Installed my UMI adjustable TQ arm with relocating transmission crossmember yesterday. It made the car ride worse....not sure I'm gonna leave it on, but it could easily be swapped on for an event.

Deep stage if you can when you race someone heads up.
Shallow stage if you wanna get a good number (ET) for bragging rights/records/etc.
Suppose you could clone yourself and your car....and run the exact same pass.....cut the same light...everything. One of you shallow and the other deep. The deep stager would get there first because while the shallow staged one appears to have a worse light (remember we are talking equal true reactions to the green) because he had more rollout.....he had that much more track to cover before he got to the traps. He would have a slightly better on paper ET/MPH, but would still lose.
Think I explained that right....I'm tired. People correct me if I'm wrong.

yes but i will also be traveling faster every bit down the track then u because of the roll out. you cut a .200 light i cut a .400 light. you run a 12.4 but i run a 12.2 we would finish a dead tie. index pro .400 racing deep stage def would be an advantage. but true heads up racing it evens out. from what i have heard. i have 0 expirence on .400 pro trees.

Shallow will get you the best ET because you basically get a rolling start at the 1/4. When you are racing someone however, you have to be able to cross the starting line as quickly as possible to beat the other guy to the finish line.
I agree on the courtesy staging, it makes things simple for everyone and nobody gets to double bulb me!
