For the points brackets I usually set the car up for a conserative .020 and hold enought to make sure I can cross the stripe first. I either cross first by .010-.019 or dump in the box and give my opponent as much finish line as I can reel out. I had Frank 2nd round in street that last day of points in '07. We were both .019 and he was .02 over and I was .01 over for the win. I was holding .04 and backed into him on the top. I needed that win against him in that round and an overall win to knock him out of qualifing. I lost in the quarter finals of street by going -.010 red. Frank went to the Div 1 finals and I got a jacket. lol. I was also running pro that day (first time running pro in the stang). I was "hunting" Frank in street while all the runners were hunting me in pro. It's a tuff day when your round one opponent is Jim Young. Didn't get any easier competition. I mananged to get by Andrew Bracuto in round 4 again with a .020 and backing in to go dead on. Track announcer called that run the upset of the season. Winner of round 5 got the bye run for the semi finals and a trip to the finals. I was holding .02 on the dial. I was .021 on the tree to his .040 and fubared the run by missing my drop spot. I took stripe by .04ish and broke out by the .02 I was holding. I was a sad puppy sitting in the pits after that run. That's when Frank came over for a chat.
