He decided to run to the 1000 foot mark and let off. He made it 4 rounds that way and avoided a hit. It wasn't scrubbing a whole lot of ET off either.
1000' lift and coast doesn't kill near as much as some would think. It all depends on momentum and whatnot but I've found in some of my bracket cars it can be as little as .15 or as much as .30 depending on speed and weight and conditions.
