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.
