    Used to be opposition would start pedalling in the heat races. So you pass some then and get more in the feature. Now, they don't slow down until the feature and they are harder to pass because of the aero wake you fight.

    If you are on floor with the loud pedal and not spinning, "maximizing aero" isn't doing anything.
    ah gotcha. how much hp do you need on smaller tracks now? 3/8 or less

      I'm not exactly sure. At least 750 I'd say. 750 real hp, not some sales numbers

        Honestly it depends on the track, but at a typical Lucas or WoO show they wet the track way way more then normal then the track normally does for a weekly show so locals usually never see that condition.

        The times I been to the little track at davenport, man you better have a motor. When that place is wet, you need every bit of a big wide bore motor. At many places 3/8 or smaller and your under 850HP your likely to not qualify in the top half of your group no matter how good your car is.

          I can give you an example of a decent size 3/8 track (1880 feet if running the bottom of the track).

          We had an issue with big motor car and used back up car with SB2 motor at WoO show

          Qualifying
          WoO show 810HP 410SB2 (3) LM 20's and LM40 RR
          our qualifying time 16.4
          Marlar was fast time at 15.75 new track record)

          Several months later at same track just big motor:
          Region series show 438 wide bore (3) LM 30's and LM 40 RR
          We was fast time at 15.90

          Track will really close to the same for qualifying both nights, if I had to say WoO may been slightly better that night

            thats crazy theyre able to put that much down. Most our tracks are 1/4 - 3/8 so i was wondering how much it took
