    Not really, I will be at full boost by the 60ft. mark. Leaving the line with 8psi.

    Yes, but the FINISH line is not moving. So with Btstone being 2 cars up, he actually has LESS distance to travel, than if he were 1 car up, with Hunter 1 car back (even though at the START the separation is the same).

    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.
