Re: .90 questions from mars....
The thing about .90 racing is a lot of decisions being made in a short amount of time. Most like to run big mph so that the race is playing out in front of us. We can see the opponent as well as the finish line. We are all human and we do miss the tree at times. What I try to do is WIN BY A LITTLE AND LOOSE BY A LOT. If we are racing and I am able to catch you before the finish line I will try to tighten the race up as much as I can, thinking I had a good light and I'm trying not to break out. If I feel like I can not catch you I will drive you as deep as I can and then get on the brakes before the finish line trying to break you out. If I can't catch you either that means I had a bad light or you are fast. Some times my car will just make a slow run and thats why I'm behind but most of the time it is running what I set it up to run. The reason I want to loose by a lot is look at how many double breakout races, the guy with the worst light wins because the other guy took too much stripe. When your car runs less mph it is much more difficult to be able to look back at your opponent and know where the stripe is
