Maybe Josh and some of the top drivers we know are doing it wrong so I am going to ask your opinion.

Last night Josh was putting room between him and the car in front of him, the radio was telling the drivers to give plenty of room and spread out, coming to the green most drivers hold off standing on the gas to spread things out a little more to give themselves a clear track for as long as possible (holding back within reason)

Coming to the green should you pass bunching things up standing on the gas or keep the distance between cars until the flag is waiving. again at a reasonable pace

If I remember right the firled green is to pick up speed and when waiving the green for the designated car starts the clock and in my opinion passing/racing is ok.

The drivers we talked to last night thought that the clear path for as long as possible was the way to do it as you are looking for that good lap in the clear, kinda like the single car used to be.

Thank you
