what is sandbagging?

is it when u enter a lower class and tell the officles u have a slower car than u really do and lift at the end of the strip to steal the trophy?

i have no intrest in doing this i was just wondering becasue i hear more and more about this

 

Basically you have the right idea.
It's hitting the brakes before the traps or letting off the gas a little, deliberately running a car slower than it can actually do. Usually done to win braket races easier or to bait a slower car into a money race on the street.

 

okay thx alot
i dont agree wit it at the track but to beat a import, thats another story lol jk

 

Sandbagging is intentionally doing this.... It is one thing to be three lengths ahead at the top end and back off before crossing the line, it is another when you actually plan on that situation.

A good bracket racer will beat a sandbagger more often than not, but there are a few individuals I have encountered who have raised sandbagging to an art form and they are tough to beat.

 

thx alot for explaining this
