Isn't it stange, how many racers are "Holder's"?


I wouldn't recommend holding anything. Dial what you think it will run. But you still have to drive the finish line. If you are dialed tight, any little thing can cause a break out (wind, pressure increase, temp drop while you are in the staging lanes, etc).

I never hold. I either dial exactly what I think, or give 0.01 safe. ie I think it will run 9.157, so I dial 9.15. If I think it will run 9.152 I can dial safe at 9.14

And IMO, when the two cars differ by 25 mph or more, it is hard to judge no matter which car is yours.
