Personally I dont even look down the track till after I take off so his little game wouldnt have worked on me.

My full concentration is on that bottom bulb (footbraking) till I launch, then I starting eye balling that "other car"


There is this guy at our track who races a bone stock 88 crown vic, he has been racing for over 50 years and he's good.

His name is Harold Shackleford some of the guys on here may even know him or have heard of him, he likes the inconspicuous look of a bone stock street car.
He's got one slick on the pulling side and he cuts killer lights, he's been track champion more times than I care to remember.

His favorite distraction is to pedal the brakes at the big end, he's not actually applying the brakes not yet anyway but rather just tapping the pedal enough to make the brake lights come on maing you think he is braking hard.
Then right before he crosses the line he'll lockem up to keep from breaking out (sandbagger) works for him alot of the time but I got his number, yeah right.... :lol:
