Wayne glad to see you on the Board.

Edgar buddy , your mistake was against me last year, it kinda throws you off when you dont know when you gotta go.lesson learned .thats why i ask you twice right before we ran .
i just want 2 get the rules right so a NEW guy doesn't lose on a deep stage that he didn't know about.I know & i have spotters .

Edgar We all think you do a great job running the events (and much more for us) thx,for some reason you always BEAT me
i didn't wanna bring the stagging up but after seeing it happen to 2 seasend racers get thrown off, its just not right. is it 2 much to put deep on the side windows???:
if not a lesson learned too all
ps is this over - see ya saturday

Ijust think its a bad rule to allow starter to wait for deep stage on a protree
i have been around protree racing for along time and never seen this rule have you
Wayne that is what I understood from Paul that if are car is going deep then the starter takes over. The ticket and system still shows autostart on but the stater is overriding it. I know every track is different and I was always under the impression the deep driver has to get in deep before the other driver gets both on but was corrected.

Our little series here has, in the past, had very few trans brake drivers and that number is growing. There are those that have them and don't use them for whatever reason like mine is not working right. Maybe next year if we get to the point where all qualifiers are having and using them we might do something different.

I know noone is really taking shots at Chris, just wanting clarity. I believe he was using the deep as a way of slowing the car like i have in the past for other classes. Once he has time to tune it then I don't think we have any other deep drivers other than myself (and that is only till I get the brake working right) and it won't be long before my 10.5s are not enough to get in so the problem may not even be there in the future anyway
