How long is that strip? He throws the hazards on before people are even hitting 3rd gear.

Ya, what were you guys racing to? And how were you doing the count down? Looks like the f-150 got to have the jump

Want can't the vid guy get the arm drop in view?

Would help to minimize being told you jump.

Its a 1/4mi. race but I turn the flashers on as soon as I know they won't catch me. I made sure to turn them on for the cts-V because last time I forgot and he turned his on claiming he caught me and didnt even know where the finish line was. This time I didnt short shift, I made sure there was a gap between us.

The m6 guy was new so on the first race he just slept, but the second race we reacted almost at the same time I just out 60'd him.

Thanks for the clarification. I was just wanting to know why those things were going on so early in the race, because I know you guys were sub 100 by the time those hazards were on.

idk about the M6, but the V1 definitely is notorious for sucking *** at dig races.

Yeah, my goal was to see whats up. Not the first time I saw him beat the V or other cars here in LS1tech, just hadn't seen the hazards go up so fast before.
