Racing the stripe if you have the lead

here's another good example with two racers that are among the best in the business. Last week's NHRA Gatornationals final rd. Pete was to leave .023 early on handicap. But in essence he only left .010 easly by being behind at the tree. garantee he new it. He dumped at the stripe by 5 mph. That gave him a breakout of .004 less.
