I think it would be just as hard for the faster car to judge the stripe at this closing rate.If your car is consistent, dialed honestly and you have a good light your chances of winning the round are as good as the faster car. My 2 cents worth

Not sure, but I don't think he was thinking about racing the stripe.

Your probably right Bruce. I would guess that his target is the back bumper of the slower car. Next time I see
Chris I'll ask him what his method is.

In the stands on Saturday morning I was one of the few spectators that when seeing the dial in on the win light board knew that something special had happened. What great racing at Englishtown

I have wondered myself what would happen if I get paired up with one of those 160 mph Stockers.
For me it would be a 50 some mph difference.

Dial honest, trim the tree, and don't look back.
Hail Mary pass.

Might have to do a little drift...

Outstanding run. When will the powers to be begin to see this as "Pro Stock"? Top Sportsman has room for todays Pro cars when the owners move on to Stock.(Sorry if too progressive an idea) Imagine the cut in costs and increase in fan support. And the most important thing is they "Look like available cars"
