Default Re: what you doing after the burn out

I've never thought about it, but you do bring up a good point. I'm also pretty quick to get to the tree after the burnout. Thus, why I always wait for the opponent to start their burnout before I do mine. My car comes out of the box straight, and very little aligning with the groove is needed, so I usually stop just shy of the pre-stage, and am still usually waiting for a few.

I normally sit and hope the other guy breaks or red lights?

I know that some racers refuse to light the top bulb first so they wait for their opponent to light the bulb then they go in. I've seen a lot of driver do many different things from checking the gauges, to saying a prayer to adjusting their gloves. It's sort of their version of a batter in the batters box.

I personally do my burn-out, clear the motor, make sure all the switches are on, check the gauges, make the sign of the cross, slap my hands and then roll into the beams. I really don't care if I'm the 1st or 2nd driver to light the stage bulb but, I notice that my lights are a lot better when I'm the 2nd one to light the stage bulb.

Talking Re: what you doing after the burn out

Always start burnout second, start playback tach, reset shocks, chk air bottle, confirm water pump AND fan are on. If in left lane pull myself high up in seat to see car in rt lane over scoop, at that pt you can go in I can go in, dont matter, that ***** only plays on the inexperienced.
