Drooze,

First off, if you are measuring wheel speed to operate the stop, that
is an illegal approach to the game, timers only can activate and de-activate the stop. As far as using the back half of the track for
delay, I ran with a friend with a setup like that and it worked fine, there are some rather well known champion racers who run like that as well. There is no limit to where and when you want to use the stop.
You see what you see because, well, even with a stop racers want
to go fast.
In a dragster, being able to see what is happening behind you
is rather tough.
