Besides on another note, if your shifter allows going to reverse by accident at the finish line, you need a better shifter. My hand is on the handle ready to neutral before the line, then I brake.

It isn't normal slowing that's an issue. ...It's a problem because if you stab the brakes at the stripe to tighten it up or give it back , the 2 step instantly pulling the engine to 3 or 4000 rpm is akin to using a Jake brake on a diesel truck .
Especially on a car with steep rear gears .
