They were probably just lifting the throttle. You can kill a lot of time early in the run by doing that, and counting to yourself how long to stay off the throttle to get yourself in the ball park. I used to have to do that with my Powerglide SS car when I ran the local ( then) AHRA track. Those records were so bogus-slow it was almost impossible to kill that much ( 1.1 seconds) at the finish line. Slap it into high, lift, count, and back on it. Never saw or heard of throttle stops back then . Probably what was going on there.
