Yes there are a few of us that use the top-end stop. Some may disagree and say it's a waste but, if you have it figured out then it can be deadly. We used to run the stop to come on later and run it through the traps at about 108-109mph but, the problem with that is you don't have any control with the car once it comes on. So if the 60 foot was better or worse, wind, etc you are pretty much out to lunch. A few years back we started to set up the car so it would come back on at about 1200 feet. This way people trying to wheel race you get a big surprise when the car comes back on. Depending on the conditions you adjust the cruise rpm in the am. If the weather is warm you set it at 3,200 if it's cool like this weekend at the Dutch you set it at 3,400 because the car is making more horsepower. The next factor is your first and second numbers in the stop. If it's a hot day you keep it at 6.00, if it's cool then 5.75. You then have to adjust the 2nd number to what the weather settings are. Like a Numidia track we'd have 1.05 in the 2nd number because of the altitude. Somewhere like Atco we'd have like 2.60-2.80 depending on weather. Since switching to this setup 4years ago we've gone to 3 final rounds and won at Numidia in 2013 in super gas. Yes wind is a big factor but, also guys with big hoodscoops have a tough time judging you when your in the right lane and they don't catch you till the first cone. Just some insight, there are a few others who do it, only downfall is if you get on a tricky track that may have issues with dew at night when she comes back on make sure both hands are on the wheel.
