well the results are in.

we are side by side at 45, 3 honks, and were off I put 1/2 car on him instantly and close to a full car by the top of second. hit third and slowly pull about one more car on him hit 4th and cya by 120 I'm out about 4 cars. That thing was quick but I took my 50 bux and was happy.

He wanted to dbl or nothing from a dig. I declined, but said I would dig it for fun. turns out he doesnt know how to launch his car and he only gets about a 1/2 car on the start, made that up by mid second gear and then the same story thru 3rd and 4th. I am happy to beat the 9 after all i have read about how badass they are.
