While this is true, under changing conditions (some of which you can't predict with a weather station), you may need to trim the stripe close to keep from breaking out. The higher-mph car has better visibility for doing this.
I'm trying to decide which way to run my car for an upcoming 1/8-mile national open (my first S/G racing in 15+ years). At least in the 1/8 mile the speed differentials will be smaller. At my local track I recently went from one of the slowest cars in Pro bracket to one of the quickest, and I must admit that it is much easier judging the stripe from behind. OTOH maybe that experience being chased in bracket races will pay off if I run low trap speeds in S/G.
If I could snap my fingers and return to the way S/G was run in the 1980's, I would do it in a heartbeat.
