Re: Willing To Hold...Again
This slip was in the 3rd round of the low roller gambler. Pretty sure this was a slow stock eliminator car. I screwed up by not holding a lot more than I did. It was a tough judgment call & could have been made easier by holding a bunch.
Was I still cheating? :rolleyes: https://i.imgur.com/27uXw8U.jpg |

You gotta put a number on the window you can run.
From SR1 may he rest in peace: You have to hold your light to make it look like you are a bag o donuts |

Not a hero run but would/could have won a great number of rounds looking at Ennis. |

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 |

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. |

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. 1700/781L :) |

Re: Willing To Hold...Again
Phx divisional I lost a radiator. By the time I found and replaced tadiator it was 1st round. With no time runs I was using what I had to determine ET. Then added .09. I was fortunate enough I was the faster car for 3 rounds and won. 4th was a faster car then me. Took the .09 slower ET off and dialed honest. Had two people come by and said weather was worse and I'm dialing faster. I was able to win 4th round. 5th I went red.was it frowned on to fender race, I'm sure it was, but I was at a disenvantage. What ever works, works.

I screwed up the position of the post, on my phone it would not correct, but you can get the gist. Don't hold more than you can handle...if my light is there, I will show ya the backdoor! |
Re: Willing To Hold...Again
This is the best reason I have found to hold from time to time.
