Top End Tactics

I agree with what Dice is saying. The "cut a light and run your number" isn't an instant win against some of the really good drivers. It's much more difficult to win in any class these days, so the driver's theory is to set up real tight on the tree and make it close at the other end. So in theory, if you cut a light like a .007 and run dead on 7 you have a real nice .014 package. But when the black and decker tree wreckers like Biondo or Bertozzi leave with a .005, they have .009 to get in on you and they are good enough drivers to do that on a regular basis. They don't do it everytime, but these strategies dramatically improve their odds of the win light coming on. They are risking a red light and risk giving it back on the other end, but they are racing to win, not playing it safe so they won't lose.

Also, the more you practice hitting the tree that hard and driving the stripe that hard, the better at it you get.
