Re: Carnage--Me, Not The GT

I love racing sandbaggers. A couple guys in our class usually dial .5 slow. I know they do it to try to bust the opponent out. I LOVE to run them in my Mustang because it runs about the same ET's (6.85-6.95). One of the cars, it will run 6.80 flat out but he usually dials 7.30-ish. If I have to run him, I will dial close to his, not exactly on it as not to be obvious. Usually run him down pretty quick and move over away from him at the finish line--makes judging the distance much much harder. 'Course it helps that the rust-stang of mine runs a very good MPH at the finish line....about 4-5 mph faster than most cars at the same ET. 103-104 most of the time but the 60' times suck. Makes it a little harder to judge...LOL...I've had some guys park at the stripe and let me drive right by.
