Hunter has a massive HP advantage over Btstone, but also has a big turbo.....so, the longer distance he has, the better it is for his car.
With Btstone 2 cars up, that makes Hunter's race 1320ft. With Btstone 1 up, and Hunter 1 back, that makes Hunter's race 1320ft + 1 car length. That means his trap speed will be higher by the end of the track, than if he started with Btstone 2 cars out.
