I see that you seem to hold a bunch
You were using the theory that you were the faster car so you make the decision
I like it ? You?re either just riding people or you doing a 20 mile an hour dump

James,

When I voted in the poll, I chose all options except "Don't hold/try to dial honest".

I have a set range of hold numbers that work best for me in most situations.

I use my mph to my advantage, it has its pros & cons. For me, the pros outweigh the cons! My car will run 150mph+ but I'm not legal to run it that fast yet.

In my class (Pro), I chase 99+% of my opponents. I definitely don't ride my opponents or do a dump. The 2 slips shared showed me getting rid of around 15mph. Most of the time it's using the throttle around the 1000' mark & saving a little for the finish line. That is where I make my final decision to take or give up the stripe.

There's is no drama with me killing my hold numbers or getting rid of mph. The 1% of the time I do use the brakes it's only a slight amount & again no drama.

Thanks for the info, Curtis.

That slip shows we sometimes have crappy lights. Even the best has them or worse. Holding gave me some extra options that I would not have had if I was dialing honest.
