Yet, footbraking and you KNOW your a little too close to a pink one, you cant just change your leaving point a little bit..... a .2xx is the inevitable result.
Maybe lower starting line rpm, looking for a .015-.020, instead of an .00x?
(I know , sounds like a loser move to me too).
Don't need to change anything. Just stay consistent. I can footbrake .000 to .01 but occasionally a bad light will creep in. This one just came at the worst time.
