Everyone can say they will cut a .010 light and take .006 stripe but not even the best of the best do that on a consistent basis in a stocker.

Re: Top End Tactics
 

No one does that on a consistent basis in any class, but I do believe it would be much harder to do in stock. Wouldn't be easy in super stock either, but with a button it would help it some.

And you are rolling the "DICE" if you think you can do that everytime..............

My point is that if i leave with you on the tree and you are running above your number out the door, odds are i'm gonna send you to the cooler. 10.909 on a 10.90 is dead slow if thats all you got. I highly recommend listening to Mr. Beards advice. My driver averages 50 passes per week-end 9 months of the year every year. Sometimes more. Get out to your local track n race before you hit the road. Practice does make some drivers pretty close to perfect. Trust me!!

Re: Top End Tactics
 

Dice,
I'm calling BS on the 50 per week 9 months a year. Thats 1800 passes a year. Who is your driver?
I would say Nobody makes that many. I normally put out anywhere from 500-800 a year and I race a good bit.

I do agree maybe some of these racers need to get out more but that would require BRACKET RACING.

2 sides to Top End Tactics. I had a well known racer tell me I was to predictable. I would cut a good light and depend on my car to run the Number. I learned from that statement. I may now be holding or I may not Do ya feel Lucky?

I have been following this thread "Top End Tactics" trying to pick up some pointers,and have yet to see any tips on what to do when you are in a "Heads Up" race with NO breakout and your opponent is ahead of you?

What should you do in that situation?

Re: Top End Tactics
 

hit the nos at 1000ft.......oops, was that a secret?
I mean...push the pedal harder...

Re: Top End Tactics
 

442,
In that situation you go to the bank get more money. It may help next time.
In some situations you may have an outdated combo with No hopes of spending enough money to catch up. When that happens you buy more shoe polish, and head in a different direction.

X2 - almost BS to the BS

Well - I doubted that as well and not to start anything but at 14 rounds a race (2 classes 7 rounds) it would be 35 races for the 500 number - I guess some weekends there could be two

The 800 number would 57

Hell we are lucky to do 15 races a year with school, jobs, travel time, costs, etc.

Re: Top End Tactics
 

What would your driver do if his car (to run the number) was 60 mph faster (plus giving the car 4+ seconds) than the car in the other lane to run the number? Do you think he could take 6 inches or a foot of stripe?
