Wow congrats, that must have been a fun ride on the 275's... Did they limit you to those tires or just something you wanted to run??

Class rules are 275/60/15 max

No limits on power plants.. so you can have a f3r or a 768ci 4 stage motor.. but if you run a turbo.. 98mm or 94mm is the max

With soft launches and killer top-end, you easily ran down the entire field, plus never broke. That's HUGE! Major props.

AMS1000 I take it is what got you down the track like that with ramp rate and delay cause it did not look like you left hard but gained a **** load on top end
