Energy management
All excessive speed that's left means spilled time... When you plan to
finish at 500' it's faster to leave early and make a (McReady) slow glide to the finish line than to make a fast and low dash, which only causes excessive drag. Of course it's very boring to ease back at 500' instead of screaming alone with the crops hitting you're fuselage..
