Practice, less nerves, patience and more racing "seat" time. Block out the other guy. Only race your race. Don't worry about what the other guy's dial-in is. If you have dialed your time correctly, and you cut a good reaction time, you'll win

Very well said. Hell, Iam working on this also. In the late rounds lately, I have been red lighting with 492's to 4.99's.
