"Classic Concentration" bonus round--best strategy?

[Kevin Prather]

Here's a clip of what I believe is the all-time record win. One strategy he applies is, if he knows he has a match, to not wait for the first pick to reveal before declaring the second pick. Instead of "4...6," it was "4-6." That alone saved him a couple seconds.

[Mr. Armadillo]

My at-home strategy had two stages:

• Reveal 6 cars in "anchor" positions: corners (1-3, 13-15) and sides (7-9)
• Reveal a new number and usually call out its match from the six anchors. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Most good players can easily remember 6 cars in these specific locations. There are possible hurdles (matching in stage 1; revealing two cars that didn't match any anchor in stage 2) but these are at most a temporary setback.

While I know what you mean, I'm very amused by the fact that matching can be considered a setback.
