I tried diving with the Monte but didn't dial for it and I was late but it didn't work as I broke out. B Hawk has a valid point. Know what your doing and know what your opponent can do from start to finish. You will have a better win loss ratio. But this knowledge can make you a better bracket racer but we all know s/ss racers are not bracket racers because of tear down, class indexs, and so on.

Jeff, that would be fine if all front ends were the same distance forward of the contact patch of the tire (and the same height above the ground), but they're not. It would be a non-issue if it was a tire to tire (start to finish) race. How can you adjust for a quicker run if you're best run isn't enough to offset the likely quicker run of an extended & low nose on your opponents car after he/she staged their car with the front tire...that's all I'm saying.
