When you get the video cam set up, get him to race you at the track too, so we can see the differences.

Damn, too bad you didn't have the new iphone (assuming you don't since no vid). I have the newer one with vid capability, which I'll be using for sure.

With you having lid/full exhaust, and him having just an axle-back (I'm guessing?) it is definitely believable. Did you notice him having traction problems when you guys first hit it?
