Hey thanks guys,
I have a file folder filled up with time slips this year (approx 100 runs), but I will work harder to improve...Some guys I race against likely have 10,000 runs...
In the staging lane I tried to line up my nose (the Monte has a huge nose
) about a foot ahead of the competitors car and get a landmark location such as you guys explained..
For me right now it is still really hard to gauge when to slow down or speed up. The last race of the year I made it to the 3rd round and lost by .009. I am running approx a 8.0 in the 1/8 while some are in the low 6's....I wonder if I quickened the car I could make judging the stripe easier?
How do you guys slow down? Brake and keep your foot on the accelerator or feather the throttle? I lost a race because I totally left me foot off the throttle, I cut a great light too..
That is racing you must lose 100 different ways until you win one.
