Steve - I think I was just about the only person running a 1 way at the race sunday, everyone had switched to a diff or spool. Last time I tried a spool, I was about 1/2 seconds a lap slower than I am with a 1 way, I never use the brakes (although it was a little hard not using brakes with the mod motor) but I did notice that I had more cornerspeed than everyone in my class, I had no problem catching back up to the pack after a bad start...
Alex Nevarette that won the Pro Mod sedan class was running a one-way in his barracuda R2. I tried the one-way early on when I got to the track, and it just didn't work (mainly because there was quite a bit of ash and dust on the track) I felt like I need the security of being able to slam on the brakes if necessary, which is why I opt for the spool. As the day went on, especially mid day, the track actually looked really good as far as traction, and it looked promising for the one-way again, but I didn't want to guess on a setup and go out there and have the car all wrong, so I stuck with the spool.

Glad to finally meet you in person, and hope everything is safe where you are
