Time Slip App Strategy

Time Slip App Strategy

Author: Luke Bogacki May 4, 2026 Duration: 9:17

This week’s Question of the Week comes from David, who asks: How do I strategize against my opponent at different types of race tracks when it comes to time slips. For example at Worldwide drag strip they use the time slip app I can look up an opponent's car number and gauge whether he's dialing honest or holding some numbers. How do I strategize against my opponent at racetracks like Benton that still use the paper time slips?"
