Both cars are fast. The auto has an upper hand at all times IMO. I think both are going to put some good gas in both cars and bump up the boost. I don't think either one of them will hook from a 50 roll.

The reason the red car looked like it took off like that is because it had a descent amount of boost on the brake and when the Pat let off the brake it blew the tires off into JP's lane. It was a pretty short area to race so the next one will be out on the toll way.

He didn't take off as much as he was almost full boost on brake. The plan was to get up to 40 and go. Not enough room for 3 honk. Bet the red car will run mid 5s. So will Jp if he ever gets a real tranny

Not taking anything away from Pat. His car moves out. He had almost a car lead plus brake boosting and the hit. For me to lock him up in 3rd is pretty good IMO. It'll be a different story when it's an even start and I brake boost
