Default Super Gas Burndown

Did anybody notice the burndown @ Pomona between Jim Hughes and Ed Olpin.....I know Ed and I know Jim....Ed is an alright guy but he has this staging technique that drives you crazy. Certainly if he raced in Divisions 3 or 1 he would be taken out to the woodshed and corrected......

He will not stage first....so he can put both bulbs on quickly....so Hughes of course would not let him do that...and they were sent to the back of the line.....and again Olpin would not stage.....then he finally went in and Hughes could have hung him out or put 2 bulbs on quickly (like he does) but he didn't....he just staged like normal.....

My thoughts on this are.....lets decide the race on the track....not with some goofy staging technique....

Ed beware....especially in Division 1.....( a lot of mafia types) you may win a round or 2 this way but it won't compare to the penalty....sooner or later you're going to do this to the wrong guy.....

your buddy Rock...

Hey Rock what's the deal? Is it because Ed's car is an old **** wagon and he needs to go in deep or is he just a little low on confidence and wants to make sure he has his finger on the button first? I love running people like him. It spruces up a boring 9.90 run.

How do you handle the Ed Olpins of the world?

Rock - Check out the first round results, he played the same game with someone else. I'm thinking Jim (in 2nd round) was ready for him after seeing that.

I was there and saw what happened between Ed & Jim. I think both guys are great racers and frankly good people. My personal opinion about staging is to just do it the same everytime, whether I'm first to stage or last...No game intended. I know Ed's technique, I raced him this year at the Bakersfield LODRS in the final, and have raced him a few times before. You could either play into it, and try to wait him out, or just get up there and do your own deal & try to beat him. Jim's always a top 5 contender in his cars, and Ed was trying to protect his top ten spot....I don't think its a reason for "Ed to beware". Its just two good racers squaring off. These guys records speak for themselves. Just my opinion.

Everybody knows Ed does that...I'm just saying that somebodys going to take offense to it out this way....

I like Ed too..he's a good guy but just stage......like you're supposed to...Lets decide the race on the track...(yes, he did it to me in the All stars final and I was .053 and I knew it was coming)...Sooner or later it will catch up to him.....

no offense Greg...
