Sliding through the lights trying to stage

I'm sure we have all seen this guy:

He is a heads up racer.
He is making a test-n-tune run.
He takes off, then gets squirmy, then gets back in and out of the throttle all the while sliding all over the track, while keeping his foot into it to the finish line.

What kind of data does that provide ?

None whatsoever, but be advised these guys will do anything to win on race day. I was in NMCA at Bowling Green in '98 when an Outlaw racer went airborne in the left lane, passed over the top of a '69 Camaro in the right lane upside down, hit the timing board for the right lane and then the retaining wall. Death was instantaneous as it decapitated him upon impact on top of the wall. I was standing on the edge of the track even where he went airborne at nearly 200mph and was a sight I have never forgotten.
