Some people mess up more on the street because of the adrenaline pumping more. Then, some people mess up more at the track because they have the tree and that makes them nervous.

    I think the main reason Nemo wins, is because ppl underestimate his car. Power to weight, gearing, launching, is all a huge factor. Nemo knows his car, knows what it can do, and knows how to drive it. Fastest car doesn't always win. And when did Lee's car run a 13.4 when he wasn't on spray? His car runs a 13.8 consistently.


    Either way, good luck to both. Be safe.
    Not knocking u Mot, but didn't u say your car ran a 13.4 on no boost. Becuz of a turbo mounting problem???

    But has with any honda. They don't need 400hp to be fast. Cuz they only weigh only 2000lbs

    We have a big block with a supercharger in a car and it only weighs 2750 with driver.

    EDIT: Actually, two of them. One has a HUGE big block, supercharger, and two shots of spray on it... Weighs about 2500 with driver... But can't really consider it a car... lol

    lol @ 572.

    First is just a little Mopar 440 with a SC, twin demon 750 Carbs... Puts down around 900 WHP. Sorry for small pics, but didn't feel like looking for the other ones.






    This one has a Mopar 632, SC, and a few stages of spray. Runs a 4.50 in the 1/8th and he told me this morning he's looking to hit 4.28 now. Like I said, can't really consider it a car...




    Then there is their supercharged Viper... When it can catch traction. About to throw two stages of spray on it, 200 a piece.






    I love V8's/V10's as much as the next person... I just think they are inefficient in stock form... All that displacement they should make much more power... Just my

    I ran randall when my car was running right... He beat me by a car. All about what gear you drop into. We both shut down at same time. I hit brakes when I seen him hit his. He was at 120, I was at 135. Big difference, but he was still in front. At the track, he beat me by .03 seconds when I was lined up next to him. I trapped almost 6 mph higher than him when I was having those problems though. Anything can happen in a race. That's why outcomes are not always the same.
