Funcool came by my office tonight after beating the Novi 402 combo wearing his burger king crown.

He said too many people doubted him.

Race occured on a 3rd gear roll, on a closed circut at about 50mph.

Hit it. on the top of 3rd, Funcool was ahead by half a car.

Once they went into 4th, Funcool pulled about 2 to 3 cars to the top of 4th.

Funcool now wants Novi smasher added with his Turbo smasher to his sig.

Ehhhh??? How? Was FunCool on tire and the Novi on bare rims?

No disrespect meant by that but from a roll under the circumstances you described the Novi *should* have had equal or greater power than the Maggie car. So the whole power under the curve stuff is out the window as the Novi would have been making more power under the curve they were operating from.

The Paxton may have been at a bit of a disadvantage with a third gear roll from 50 if it wasn't traction limited. 2nd gear is good till about 80 and would have put the Paxton at a better spot in the power band.
Third gear might be fine for a Maggie (with nitrous?).

Wait, you think they agreed on both speed and gear to start from? That would be umm... odd...

From what I saw being the closest car ... Funcool had about half a car in 3rd, and Pulled another car 4th gear before novi let off.

I pulled him on the motor, but I was packing a 200 shot for anything that showed up to take my crown.
