Racing the stripe if you have the lead

I am too inexperienced with the avatar car yet to know how consistent it can be and what I need to do to win. More work required on this one.

But back in the day (early 90's) when I raced my 69 Charger (mid 12's), it was very consistent and would run within .02 all day. So I always raced the stripe. On brakes when ahead and knew I could get there first, or tried to push him out the back door then get on the brakes if I was behind. Worked well enough to average exactly 3.5 rounds in eliminations the last year I raced it with I recall 3 appearances in the finals that year. Car has drum brakes and weighed over 4400#'s with me in it so not too many worries about being on brakes too hard lol!! However, have to be careful with avatar's 4-wheel disc brakes as lots more whoa available in this car!! I do know that simply lifting does not do much if anything as the difference in et is almost nothing by lifting as the acceleration rate isn't much in the last little bit on the big end.
