I always liked racing sand baggers ... I could always cut a light.. Sand baggers worst nightmare... To answer the OP QUESTION , dial the car what it will run. If you can get on the brakes , if you cant see him. If you can see him ,run it out the back. Index racing , you have to have your car on point , The key to it all , you have to cut a light . Most of all , have fun . I've always enjoyed racing the guys like playing games with me . You race your race, dont worry about the games, you cut a light, and your car runs the number , that in its self is game player worst nightmare .
