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.

VLBBZ06 here, whoever wants to say its a race dont know Jack.
All I did was hit 4 grand in 3rd and 4th gear.. .going to be tuned next week,so stay tuned. I am not gonna take this new set up to 5000 grand rpm until its ready. just the odd blip of the throttle....
Those who take their losses and come back for more seperate the men from the boys. You are one down vinny, you knew that before you even raced. Get er done buddy
