He comes up along side of you only to be a wheel behind at the traps but dips the nose to cross inches in front of you and not break out because he had already lost ET at the starting line. This gives Mr. X an insurance policy and another weapon in the arsenal if this scenario ever should happen to him. He can manipulate his track position against you in your 69 Camaro.
I've seen it at bracket races and even on Pinks All-out when the early model car clearly had a foot on the other guy and lost.

thats one of a million differant scenarios as far as bracket racing. The only time you can count on the front end helping you is in a heads up race... and thats only if you're within a hun at the stripe.
