If your car is dialed in and you are driving well, you can make the A-main without a 1% motor. Dont let the "team" or "factory team" labels scare you from thinking you cant make an A main. They all eat, breath, and shit just like you.
Very true. And a possibility.
Suppose it depends on the race who attends etc.. I've seen guys have the certified motors and I am faster. I've see guys that have slower motors and are faster than I am.
Just one of those things that with all other variables being the same it could be a big thing.
