My scte was way overpowered for the track conditions (4600) big or not, so I wasn't able to hold the same lines and ended up 3rd. This wasn't my best run (couple costly mistakes, kept getting tied up with another racer) but if I was running my 3800 I may have been slower on the straight but I would have had the control needed to keep my line and would have most likely taken 1st as well, next time.. no points this week :P
Oh i know but i was getting people in the turns also it seem liked i had more mid range speed coming out the turns than others.
I won 2 heat races and the Main.
But my truck needs some tuning still.
