I was involved in a race once that seemed odd to me... That being said there was about a 98% chance I was beat anyway...I was .03 they were .00 ..

they spotted me around .20 1/8 mile @ 330' I'm watching the nose of their car through my quarter window and this car is surging... coming up on my door and falling back to quarter window about 12-18'' THE STRANGE part to me is front of car is NOT bouncing or moving... front stays hiked up... no bounce.. nothing like it is full power...
then a little before 594' he quits surging and pulls up puts his fender out in front of me and backs into me...
YEAH I KNOW I was a sitting duck,but how was that car moving back and forth beside me slowing and speeding up enough to move 12-18'' beside me without the front end raising or lowering any?
maybe front of my cars are just loose... but if I throttle or pump the brakes under power the front of my car is going to raise or lower some....this car NEVER change height AT ALL....
