It's taken 2 years of tweaking my car and practice to achieve this. Finally! I thought the top spots were unattainable, not any more.

Two things I did from the previous race that helped me a ton,
1) put a stronger fan near my motor (which kept my motor temps at 135ish and thus my car ran strong the ENTIRE race)
2) Switched my rear hubs from 3degree to 1.5degree (which definitely gave me more speed on the straights).

okay, wanted to share this as its been all of your help that has got me here. (thanks)!
Congrats!
