AutoSport wrote:Auto or manual should not really matter. Remember this is not who is faster, but who will be more consistent. Once you make a few passes and confirm your best time in a good run, this time will be used as your dial time that you must now try to consistently repeat. So the next competitor with his hot or modified whatever, will also have to get his or her accurate time.
The dial time of each competitor is then input into the system. The lil catch here is at the start.
Say one car confirms a dial time of 19 seconds and the other 17 seconds.
Both cars are lined up at the start and the switch is pressed. The 19 seconds car sees green on his side first and he launches out. The 17 seconds car will see green on his side 2 seconds after, and in theory, both cars should just about arrive at the finish line at the same time.
The challenge is for the 17 seconds car, NOT to jump the start because he sees his competitor leave and seemingly running away. Then there would be the tendency to rush to catch up and possibly go faster that the dial time given and break out. The 19 seconds car will also see that his opponent is also breathing down on him and also try to go faster and can also break out.
So the guys with the slower cars are not that handicapped as they may feel. Dragaholic was a master of this in the early days when he first started with an automatic Sunny (not sure if his grandmother knew what he was doing with her car) and he actually won an end-of-year championship in this manner.
