Ok, makes more sense to me now..

Best advice I can give is what I do.. when I am staging or in the lanes I try to pull even witht hem and find a referance point on thier car... then once you have your spot on the track based on how much faster they are or slower... you have an idea weather you need to take the stripe or let them have it. I have also found that watching the people in your class helps alot.. for example if you see a driver that will take the stripe no matter what chances are he will run under just to beat you to the line. Faster cars are always good for this.. Other than that its just time spent int he car, and learning how to read your opponent.. a good excersise is to get a friend and practice against durring test and tunes, I know our track will let us run on dials for TnT sometimes and this helps given you know how fast the other car really is.
