I would drop this. 17 point makers + Double 6 are mostly crushing. I don't see any really bad numbers. 43, 64, 61 65 and 54 give white some chances to get a shot, but it's a long one. If black throws some non-point making numbers, he may never fill the gaps and waste a bit on his bear-off, but I don't think that's enough to offset those sequences when white dances and loses even more on the race. Being even or slightly up in the race I would take. As it stands, not only do I have to overcome a racing deficit but I also have to enter and escape very quickly. That is too much to do IMHO. I'd rather play from 3a3a.
