I love the slower cars, I've race fast cars and slow cars but I love leaving first, less pressure. Since mathematics can be applied to racing I once calculated at Indy many years ago that 1% got a perfect light, 10% .05 to .12, 33% .13 to.45, 26% .45 to whatever, 24% red lite and 6% broke. 56% disqualify themselves right off the get go, the secret is to be in that 44% as many good racer have shown such as Dan Fletcher even if he isn't always the fastest car he still falls in that 44%.
