Haven't done any serious racing for years. my cars were always non bottled. So when I ran into these types and they would whimper about giving up their bottles my normal response was something like
"I gave up bottles when I was two years old and I also got rid of Diapers about the same time"

After using the above line I can't think of an instance in which the bottle wasn't removed, nor do I remember ever losing to one of the tykes
