DRR Top Comp |
Beaver Springs Dragway has been running "Top Beaver" for yeeeears. Winners of Top, Modified, Bike, and Street run off for extra money, W/RU. On holiday weekends, it pays $1,000 just to win Top Beaver. Before that, back in the '90s, we had the Sweitzer's Top Gun Shootout. There were six weekend per year that you'd have a Top Gun runoff, and then at the end of the year, there was a runoff amongst the six Top Gun winners. That's where I got my open trailer that I still use today! Awesome deal. __ Michael Beard - staginglight@gmail.com Staging Light Graphic Design, Printing & Event Marketing | |||

And NHRA calls this King Of The Track now. For the most part it pays 0$, just a jacket and a Wally. Still fun to do though. Happens once per year at NHRA tracks. | |||

Local track tried this one weekend. Granted they have trouble understanding bracket racing rules in general! It turned out 2 or 3 cars entered the footbrake side of the race. It took a while before anyone started to realize what was happening. track paid the footbrake loser an undisclosed amount to leave the property before the fight broke out. | |||

I guess IHRA allowed deep staging at their event this weekend. So all of the negative comments toward IHRA can be rescinded. | |||

Deep staging will be allowed at the Sportsman Spectacular at Keystone in 2 weeks as well. Pre-entry ends tomorrow night, $150 for a $10K and $5K.

Has IHRA finally come to their senses and allow Deep Staging in the Bracket Racing classes???? Brenda Brenda Taylor | |||

Yes, they changed the rule for their Sportsman Spectacular events. I was deep staging at their event at Dragway 42 this weekend, and had no problems. __ Michael Beard - staginglight@gmail.com Staging Light Graphic Design, Printing & Event Marketing | |||

Good to hear someone came to their senses a little.....as far as for me,,,It doesnt matter but I do have 2 slow car racers and a Jr car that deepstages....that counted them out for a couple of races that are close. | |||

They refuse to go race if the tree isn't held for them? Must not want to race very bad, Mike | |||

No mike, They love racing more than anyone I know. Even the little one but we just have other options. If it was left up to them, it wouldnt matter but at the end of the day, its the bottom line that counts to me. And "ME" is the one footing the bill. With them not being able to deepstage, it puts them at a serious disadvantage. With them not being able to deepstage, they might knock off one or two, but most likely, cant get thru the wh0le field. Ive always treated this sport in this manner,,,I dont choose fights i cant win. There is no reason to put yourself behind the 8 ball from the start with all the options open to us. And, there are more options open to us --"the customer". We have numerous tracks in the area running so we will choose accordingly. | |||

PS Mike Beard---Unless there is an update, just got back word that the Ihra race this weekend "IS NOT" going allow deepstaging. I asked the one that responded to my question to reconfirm Ihra`s position in case there has been a recent update that he/she wasnt aware of....and its still on the flyer "not allowed" | |||

I am at Wilksboro right now and there is a sign in staging indicating courtesy staging which about kills going deep. But, locals say they have no trouble deepstaging here normally. | |||
|
| DRR Pro |
can you go ask someone in charge......this is the reply i got back couple of hours ago... I asked "if it was a closed event (pre pay only) and are you allowed to deepstage??" and the reply was......... "You can come in & race if you’re a IHRA no deep stage" courtesy no problem....way it should be | |||
|
| DRR Top Comp |
I did. Straight from Div director “no deep staging” and auto start will be on. That’s all I can do | |||

Just curious ....... Tim and Fern..... (and I didn't go thru all the posts beforehand) ..... other than 'them' stating "No Deep Staging" ....... what is/are the reason(s) for not allowing deepstaging at these events. Is there a possible 'common sense answer'? thanks, Dave | |||
|
| DRR Top Comp |
I didn’t ask. It was kind of like “what difference does it make, have you ever seen a deep stager win a race”. Really? I mentioned Tim and could have went on to Steve Taylor, Steve Stites, myself, you, Bud McNasby, Jeff Flood ($30,000 race winner going deep). This list could go on forever. | |||

In the IHRA rulebook it states that you can deepstage in footbrake Brenda Taylor | |||

| DRR Sportsman |
ISTAGING: A rider must move forward into the stage beam, and cannot back into the stage beam. Any rider backing into the stage beam to set the tree will be disqualified. In order to win a round you must stage your bike under power, even if your opponent is broke and unable to stage. If for some reason you are held up by a track official such as: cleaning or getting debris from the track, waiting for slow bikes to clear the track, your engine is too hot to race, tires too cold, etc., let an official know immediately. Once you stage, it is a race. Courtesy staging is enforced in 4.60 Index only. Deep staging is permitted in all classes, but the starter will not hold the tree found this for 2018: CAN THEY EVER MAKE UP THEIR MIND ??? Brenda Taylor | |||
