Not a valid response. Like everybody else doesn't prepare or doesn't really have a stake in winning? Get real. That said, agree with Alan, if it messes with somebody to wait till the end to run then they are setting themselves up for failure. Couple of years ago I watched two ex-world champions preparing to pull past the line and head for the water. One is noted for waiting till the last possible second to dial his car and as I watched his theatrics the other racer didn't seem the least bit concerned..wasn't even looking over, now that's the winning mentality.

Fred, with all due rspect, I really could care less what you think. I'll run my program how I see fit, and I'd encourage you to do the same. I choose to spend every available minute preparing to the best of my ability, and it has zero to do with head games or respect.
If I'm in a designated pair, I'll be there. If a rope goes up to close the lanes at a given time, I'll be there before it happens. You worry about you, and I'll worry about me. If you'll excuse me now, I have three cars to prepare for today's final eliminations. I'd hate to be late to the lanes... |

Where's the "Like" button?? What's wrong with using every single piece of info and time available to make the best possible decision for you and your family?? If you have ever been around Camp Fletcher you would know that Dan is the most prepared racer on the planet..... Good luck today Dan and Michael..

We all prepare, but nobody that I've seen out prepares Dan. Why doesnt anybody ever complain about the racers who always have to be first in line. What about those guys.
