All the cars on the market work well on both carpet and asphalt and they have all proven they can win. We mdesigned our car to be simple to setup but dont let that fool you as far as performance goes. We have landed an A main finish at every snowbird national with this car even in prototype form. This past year placed 2nd. The car works just as well as all the others on carpet, it came down to the driver. On asphalt our car works extremely well also. All of our locals here in florida who havent ever driven a 1/12th before did benefit from the ease of setup but the local fast guys take it to the next level.
I watched Jeff Brown win the 06 asphalt nationals and he had his speed merchant car working very well. Jeff is also a really awesome driver. He does just as well on carpet with the same car. So in a nutshell, The car and driver are both really good.
