Where you're basically expected to 'run it out the back door', no matter what?

I thought at one time at least that was considered cheating.

'Sandbagging' to me, is like when you're the faster car .. and you dial close or the same as your slower opponent .. and catch him early, and ride beside them. 'Dropping' to me, is the same as dialing for an 'all out run' ... you're trying to "run what you dialed" ... and this is just the way that you set up to do that.

Whether you 'whomp', 'drop', 'drive your rpm's', 'ride the brakes', or whatever ...... you are just trying to have a 'better package' than your opponent.

I've never heard anyone call it cheating and I certainly don't consider anything wrong with it. I would think anyone who did complain about it probably doesn't win many rounds. Take care. Tom Worthington
