to Blitz's credit, in the end, this wasn't a finessed bet (I wonder how much Blitz really knew about his ability and what his car could do...?); everyone talked about his lack of skills (even his supporters!); how he was going to blow the shift to 3rd, how his tires weren't going to hook up, yada, yada. In my mind, a finessed bet would have been getting a lot of things he gave up (other than the .2 seconds) - the tree, the tires, the non-head to head, etc.

The guy posted consistent 10's; this was big!
