« WAGON OF STEEL » 1000 feet nose diving technic.

I did this back in my bracket racing days with NOS.
Hit it early & put a lot of distance between the cars.
Let that really fast car take the stripe while I was hard on the brakes.

I can't even imagine the electronic shenanigans involved in some of those big buck bracket races where tech is really loose. At least dumping at the top end is not as visible to the occasional fan as the throttle stop crap that populates the .90 classes. Sorry but they are not entertaining to watch.

looks pretty simple to me, he takes his foot of the gas at the 1000, or a spot he wants to use. not subscribing to any conspiracy personally

Billy -- could you send me wiring diagram for that ?? I must be using the wrong inputs . 😊 Thanks

ya know--Troy is a hell of a driver - he goes rounds, has driven the same car for how many years, [ he knows his car ]. all his runs from Dallas and the Jegs race are the same ,,same as Pomona slower mph at the finish than 1/8 th. --- ya know -- you throw a brick , it loose velocity real quick !!! c

Spot drop, hit of NOS, whomping, braking hard, backing in to, hit the button, hold a bunch, give a different picture, decal on the car, 90 degree look, triangle, counters, grids, a friend in the stands, Starlink, light sensor, and on and on.

When you realize that a blinder at the finish line would help.

Its called a "spot drop" you drive to a pre determined point (this case 1000') you either just let up and coast.. or let up and apply the break pedal like if you were in the shut down.. Us guys that bracket race see it and use it.. Never that early but it is pretty impressive.. Cudos to him for changing it up.. he has everyone tore up over it.. and probably has some competitors beat prior to even staging because of what he is doing lol

Maybe its time to lower the indexes 3 tenths. No make it 4.
It's just a suggestion a friend made!

Ya know, why don't we just go back to the old way of "running off the National Record"! Watch your complaints pick up and your car counts drop.
I'll just bring my "junk" back to where I found it and freshen up something in the garage. I'll be racing, will you?
Please ask "your friend" about my suggestion, would you?
