Tom,
Plenty of guys have went rounds in SST footbraking and running all out, usually adding or pulling out weight as the weather changes. It's hard to do if you're traveling to different tracks, but at your home track, if you bracket race often, it can work.


Back when Scotty was chasing the MPH thing in his Camaro, he was killing it hard, and early, to get a big run... This is a pass from May 5th 2007:

1.978 60'
5.530 330'
7.696-117.60 1/8
9.450 1000'
10.896-159.76

42 in the back.

JJ hits the 1/8 at like 103, only runs 148, but makes a HARD move when the 2nd stop/override? comes off at 1000', seen quite a few smart 145-152 racers take the bait and start scrubbing early, only to have a wheel hung on 'em.
