Is It Time?

[Demon340]

Mind games are what many racers live by. I am not sure if the other driver next to you feels that he/she can't beat you on the tree or if on the other end?
I once raced a certain station wagon at a Division 7 track; after I did my burn out ( my routine is always the same: pull into the water with my door open, close door, tighten seatbelts, check gauges and switches, make sure other racer is in the water and starting their burn-out, 2nd gear burn-out, roll to the line, put car into 1st and pre-stage, then wait for the other racer.) At Vegas, the racer tried the mind game after his burnout with me. After sitting with the pre-stage lit, that seemed like for very long time, I looked back over my shoulder and saw the wagon creeping ever so slowly to the tree with at least 20 feet still to go... That day it worked for him...with all lost of respect from me.
He was in my head, the worse light I ever had in eliminations.
