How bout this... if you can drive.... the slower car leaves with a .001 to .010 light, leaving the faster with a huge obstacle to overcome.
And Alan, what are you doing looking over there anyway? You are a better driver than that. I don't know or care what's going in the other lane till I'm in high gear.

One year at Indy at the USN I was in SS/B and first round was paired with the slowest car in SS. I sat there forever wondering of the tree had malfunctioned. Finally, my side came down. A concentration nightmare.
I caught him in the last 10 feet or so at almost twice his speed. That was trying experience to say the least.
