We have our bracket mode which is something similar to what I witnessed in the video that you posted.

Then, we have KILL and MINESHAFT conditions which can throw a curve ball in to the mix. On our fastest runs, we often do a long wheelie that trips the 60' with the back tires. It does not slow us down. The curve ball is when we go into that monster wheelstand. This is when the car stands straight up and I get both shifts in the air. It slows the car tenths.....
