Hello All.
00X on the tree, and 10.90X always seems to be the best trick.
But how do you get there, what does it take?
Are there any special Top Secret Tricks that you use?
It seems there are a lot of Guys/Gals out there that are in the late rounds on a regular basis. Are they just lucky, or more knowledgeable or do they "CHEAT" (LOL)
I would say seat time is your best friend, but there is more to it then that.
You still need to know what and what not to do in the seat.
TS ratio can be a big mystery. As the weather is constantly changing.
Cruse RPM. to high is not good, to low is not good. But what is Right?
How long on the stop can effect every run.
60 ft is O so critical.
Shift on the stop, or after it goes off?
Closing rate, or being caught, when to take the stripe, when to give it up?
When to dump, wack the throttle, lift or touch the brakes.
These are all top secret things that we all need to learn.
What's best big MPH, or middle of the pack, or even better super low MPH.
What's in the box, will tell you how your car react to the tree.
Is the tree tight or loose?
And the list goes on and on.

I personally like to chase, with a little in the bag. But that can be bad if you miss the tree, or the 60 is a little off either way. (which my car is plagued to do)
But hey what do I know, I'm still a 1st rd duck looking for a win.

So Guys/Gals, What is the secrets that you don't want anybody to know.

OOO I have a good one stay away from Keith!!! LOL

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
