Right.
This is the biggest problem.
If you're gonna hit the "kill" and begin gliding as you exit the last trap,
there may be some significant variations in rolling resistance that you have
to deal with. A chute makes it even more complicated. There are some
effective ways to deal with these things, but it's not real surprising if it
takes a while to learn (for any given vehicle), or if someone who usually
does it well happens to screw-up.
Of course, if you don't care about reading your plugs, you can just drive
over to the return road.

Sure makes it hard to check those spark plugs, after your run, if the motor
is used to drive off the course.
