I didnt expect a bus length. Need to do a cleaner roll. It started out with one guy rolling faster by probably more than likely in his power band.

Good races. Almost looked like he started in the wrong gear or something.

on the 1st race? were both a4 cars but i think in the 2nd race he dropped his into 1st and i was in 2nd which could be the reason he left me on the start.

That makes more sense. I knew something had to be different between the races since the results looked to be about 7 car lengths in opposite directions, lol. Good races!

So did the stalled auto win ? The stock stalled a4 cars can be real sleepers, because everyone thinks you can only be fast with a stall and open-header-like sounds.
