I keep track of the other racers Q times and see how their dial in compares to their Q time and the weather conditions at the time of the round. Then I plan my strategy for the round. I don't find many sandbagging. Might be different in Stock eliminator
I certainly could have been lucky that I didn't lock them. They were drums, if that matters.
We (my partner and I) always dialed 1 or 2 faster than we thought it would go, and depend on a good light and the car's ability to run the number. I had to decide if I would breakout or not, depending on how good I thought my light was.
