Quote: Giving someone the "brake" has nothing to do with when they leave - it's how they leave - off the transbrake. Giving them the "leave" means they can leave anytime after both cars are ready, which is about a 4 tenths head start. And the 4 tenths head start is worth about 6 1/2 cars at the stripe when the trap speeds are about 170, not only 4.
wow your 4 slow on a chase? you might not want to do any grudge racing then
The 4 tenths is pretty much the average time it takes to see the other car leave, react, and for the second car to actually move. Pretty much the same as a .400 pro tree - if you can't consistantly red light a .400 tree you are giving up at least 4 cars on the big end by giving someone the leave.
