Slow Stockers...Strong Divisional Finishes

As Billy noted, there may be an advantage to being one of the slower(et) cars on the sheet.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have dad's stats in front of me...but he definitely had 1 run in Columbus where the opponent was green but wasn't close to their normal RT. However, on that run...dad was .03x and running dead on so he wasn't going to be an easy target. I believe he had 2 or 3 red lights against him in competition as well. As for breakouts...we did induce a few of those with his car this year as well. If I get a chance to actually do the data I will try to do that.

As for me...I drove a W/SA vehicle all year. I had 0 red lights against me in stock and only a handful of runs all year where I felt the driver in the other lane was "late" or outside of their typical RT range. I definitely didn't get any of the advantages that can happen when opponents have to wait this season.
