hemi's always chase down there prey.

here is how i was taught to race, WTF are you doing looking at the other car? your dial in, not heads up! learn to cut a good light, hit consistent shifts, and dont let off (if you do you need to change your dial)

again your racing your self

Please come to my race track...I love racing against people that never look over and blindly take too much stripe.

Always watch the other car after you get into high gear. You don't want to take more stripe than you need. Knowing your car is key...and knowing your competition will help you go rounds as well. Yes, cutting a light is very important, but driving the stripe is also VERY important.

Yes, being the faster car is an advantage in that it gives your opponent the first chance to red light...also, the race is in front of you the whole time...but besides the red light thing, to chase or be chased is really a personal preference. You need to be able to do both well to be a good bracket racer.
