Chris,
I should videotape the reactions of the drivers who don't know we do the top end stop deal and it's funny. I raced Hollis C. from California in 1st round at our local Super Gas Series race this year and he didn't know about the stop. He laid down a 9.900 on me and beat me cause we messed up on the number but I went over to his trailer to congratulate him and he was like "I thought your throttle stop broke cause you were 20+ cars out on me and in my head I was like well I got this one won then I saw your nose drop and I started making up ground on you and I was like dam SOB has a top end stop, i'm in trouble". It really really messes with peoples head

That would be fun to watch.

I'm hoping the one I saw this past weekend shows up this weekend at the National Open. Heck, if I've already lost and he's still in, I'll hang out near the finish line just to see the looks on the other drivers faces! Too bad we all have to have the full face helmets now, would otherwise make for better top end photos

Using a spragless converter helps out in this situation.

Top end stops has been around for awhile! Now they are back! Just dail your car and don't take to much strip!
