Once you get used to it you can usually determine by the 330' if you should keep going. I got to the point where I could call my 60' times in my Mustang. If they were good I'd keep running but if I felt like I messed it up I would just cut the car off and coast. Needless to say I have quite a few 18s @ 50 mph time slips.
