I know that on 2 occasions that a fellow stocker racer dialed up almost 1/2 second against me and about 2/3 way down the track put a 1/2 fender on me and whomped it the rest of the way down the track. The second time that he did that against me I felt like driving right into the side of him. Yea, he beat me both times but the experience was very valuable to my toolbox.
Let's hear some others.

Tree him run on your dial and push him out. That's how you fix that!

U go .009 on da tree n 10.909 on a 10.90 dial flat footin it. I go .010 on da tree n take .006 thou ridin ya. So your theory of cut da lite n run da number is flawed at best...Just sayin!!

I'm trying to figure out how any of these guys have ever lost a race. It looks like it doesn't matter what the other guys do they have an answer for them. There was an article in the national dragster a few years ago and in that article it said that if you have a dial on your car that allows you to run it right out the back door, then you have the wrong dial in on your car, and I agree with that statement. So with all this cutting a light and running your number, when was the last time any of you have lost a race?

Everyone can say they will cut a .010 light and take .006 stripe but not even the best of the best do that on a consistent basis in a stocker.

No one does that on a consistent basis in any class, but I do believe it would be much harder to do in stock. Wouldn't be easy in super stock either, but with a button it would help it some.

And you are rolling the "DICE" if you think you can do that everytime..............

My point is that if i leave with you on the tree and you are running above your number out the door, odds are i'm gonna send you to the cooler. 10.909 on a 10.90 is dead slow if thats all you got. I highly recommend listening to Mr. Beards advice. My driver averages 50 passes per week-end 9 months of the year every year. Sometimes more. Get out to your local track n race before you hit the road. Practice does make some drivers pretty close to perfect. Trust me!!

Dice,
I'm calling BS on the 50 per week 9 months a year. Thats 1800 passes a year. Who is your driver?
I would say Nobody makes that many. I normally put out anywhere from 500-800 a year and I race a good bit.

I do agree maybe some of these racers need to get out more but that would require BRACKET RACING.

2 sides to Top End Tactics. I had a well known racer tell me I was to predictable. I would cut a good light and depend on my car to run the Number. I learned from that statement. I may now be holding or I may not Do ya feel Lucky?
