Top End Tactics

[Dice]

My point is that if i leave with you on the tree and you are running above your number out the door, odds are i'm gonna send you to the cooler. 10.909 on a 10.90 is dead slow if thats all you got. I highly recommend listening to Mr. Beards advice. My driver averages 50 passes per week-end 9 months of the year every year. Sometimes more. Get out to your local track n race before you hit the road. Practice does make some drivers pretty close to perfect. Trust me!!

Dice,
I'm calling BS on the 50 per week 9 months a year. Thats 1800 passes a year. Who is your driver?
I would say Nobody makes that many. I normally put out anywhere from 500-800 a year and I race a good bit.

I do agree maybe some of these racers need to get out more but that would require BRACKET RACING.

2 sides to Top End Tactics. I had a well known racer tell me I was to predictable. I would cut a good light and depend on my car to run the Number. I learned from that statement. I may now be holding or I may not Do ya feel Lucky?

I have been following this thread "Top End Tactics" trying to pick up some pointers,and have yet to see any tips on what to do when you are in a "Heads Up" race with NO breakout and your opponent is ahead of you?

What should you do in that situation?

hit the nos at 1000ft.......oops, was that a secret?
I mean...push the pedal harder...

442,
In that situation you go to the bank get more money. It may help next time.
In some situations you may have an outdated combo with No hopes of spending enough money to catch up. When that happens you buy more shoe polish, and head in a different direction.

LOL! I was going to reply with that.

Or shoot the other car with the Maxwell Smart Electrical Nullifyer gun. Just hide it good.

X2 - almost BS to the BS

Well - I doubted that as well and not to start anything but at 14 rounds a race (2 classes 7 rounds) it would be 35 races for the 500 number - I guess some weekends there could be two

The 800 number would 57

Hell we are lucky to do 15 races a year with school, jobs, travel time, costs, etc.

What would your driver do if his car (to run the number) was 60 mph faster (plus giving the car 4+ seconds) than the car in the other lane to run the number? Do you think he could take 6 inches or a foot of stripe?

My driver is my son. He has won multiple divisonal championships in nhra super street. Now is a multiple champion in nhra brackets. All i'm sayin is if there is a race to run friday saturday or sunday he is double entered and going rounds. He will take .006 thou stripe and make racers who run .009 slow look very very bad!! Luke and scotty do tha same on a weekly basis...just sayin...

I know why you reference the 10.90 et now.

Driving in Super Street, you have the luxury of knowing if you opponent was late or not because you both leave at the same time. Try leaving 1.32, maybe even 3.32 seconds before or after your opponent, it's not so easy to judge what kind of a light your opponent had. Trust me, if you leave 3.32 seconds after me, you are not "gona hang a fender on me and ride me all the way down".

I am going to guess that just like Super Street, you run your throttle stop in brackets as well. Stock and Super Stock do not have throttle stops.
