I am curious to how you would handle someone dialing a tenth. Especially when you know they can be .010 at the tree.

who dictates the race?? theres the question

I believe if you know they are dialed soft, especially by a tenth, you should make sure you don't do something dumb [ like I have] by dialing .01- .02 quicker than you can run. Instead dial .01-.02 slower than you can run, then let him take the stripe, or you dump at the very end.

Get what you pay for. The conversation here is barely scratching the surface, if that. Bogacki's site has three years worth of in-depth writing from many of the sport's very best - a lifetime of knowledgebase and resources. Give it some serious consideration.

I think you dictate the race. I had a race like this, this year. But he was dialed more soft than that. But, we had similar trees and I dialed honest. I knew when he caught me so soon that he was going under unless I had a teriable tree. I knew he had to get rid of some somewhere, it just worked out for me. then again I have concentrated so hard on the other racer (keeping a eye on them), that I turned back to the finish and thought I had passed the first light and got on the brakes for the second light. One problem with that, I got on the brakes at the FIRST LIGHT! He got me by a fender...Stupid....just plain stupid....LOL....Good times.

What did I learn? Run my own race.
