The traction is another issue. On a race day, Rev would nearly pull your shoes off. Washed, vacuumed and VHT'd. I highly doubt that your track is superior to what Rev's on-road track was before it got turned into an off-road track. Not saying it's worse, but I really doubt you have something unique there.

My point was that a large track will lower the peak amp draws, not raise them, since the car will almost never be near stall.

So you are saying a large track is just a big oval with no tight turns? We have a huge carpet track up in the NW and while there are some very large straights there are also very tight sections that will def. crank up the amps. I saw more than one mod touring car have its batteries and motor desolder.

Anyone have a data logger?
