Top End Tactics

[Jeff Teuton]

I got two ways. Hit the brakes too hard on a cold track and hit the wall. Not recommended. I did have a funny finish line deal in Las Vegas this year in class. I had my car in race mode which will run about .9 under. I was running this young (anybody is younger than me) guy who had a best of about .7 under. We left and he just drove away from me, like really really bad. Had me two tenths at 660 and going away. About 1000 feet, he put the brakes on so hard it wasn't funny. I just hung it out and passed him right at the stripe. I think he was going about 30 and I was going about 120. After the race, I asked him what weight were you at? I know he could not cross the scales. He responded he was at minimum. I guess the turnip truck dumped my out anyway. My finish line stuff is unique; by the time I find the finish line and dump, put the brakes on, or whatever, I am always past it anyway. Old age you know.
