Its all track conditions and trigger finger.....hell I can set my epa and throw in a small restrictor and race.... and get 20 mins runtime......but I'm not gonna win lol......why is runtime such a big deal.anyways?....most motors out there (if setup right,and ur not a tokyo drifter) can get at least 8 mins to a tank....wich is all you willl really ever need....DRAKE has lost countless of races and had the best runtimes of the whole field....didn't help him win...just to go close to 11 mins a tank.....now if you can guarantee your gonna always have a shot at the lead, then yes 11 mins would be great.....sorrt I'm posting This from my phone....so it might sound like I have an attitude.....not at all lol.....just my opinion.....is it new years yet? Lol.....lots of big races coming in 2011....can't wait
