However to keep people from getting an unfair head start if you go quicker than your predicted time then you automatically lose. Therefore you will not only look at your opponent but lift off the gas in order to slowdown but still beat them by a small margin in order to reduce your chances of "breaking out" or going to quick and losing.

As far as shifting my cars have electric shifters that shift at pre set rpms
Are there any applicable parallels you can draw between drag racing and officiating?
