Considering that just a few turns ago he was 11 off the lead and now he's only 3 off, maybe he knows what he's doing.

Yes, and others will have to assume which square(s) you will SB to slow yourself down so they can account for that in their orders.

And you're technically already in the pit area so immune to SBs till you exit.

Of course a SB or 2 could be quite benefical to Wheeler and Kassi who are far enough back that they could use them to help them slow down faster.

and incidently Snoopy et al, I thought the same thing about Spaced's speed at first, and was going to post the question, but didn't want to point out his error until it was too late to rectify, and then I was glad I didn't ask, as I realized his spam bombs would do the trick just as well (and as Rah points out, I didn't want anyone else to realize he needs to leave some Spam Bombs in his path ).

It will be interesting to see if his "thinking outside the box" works to his advantage When I saw his speed a turn or two ago, I suspect he was not going to pit this turn

Now the the cat is out so to speak, I had been planning this strat since the beginning, was going to approach at a faster speed and use three spam bombs to slow down, but Sparrow helped ensure that I did not get to do that by tapping me twice.

When I thought up the SB, I considered it's possible use to speed all the way up to the pit and slowing down quickly. (and possibly throwing off the timing of those in the same turn) I was wondering which driver would think the same thing.

Yeah, it probably would have just slowed them down more and allowed them to get a higher max speed.

But you never know if will stay adaquate after a few bumps. It's nice to have a extra for reserve.
