Acceleration wise Mark didn't have anything for Mike. It was under braking Mark made up all his time but whatever floats your boat...

I didn't know Mike had 1000 horsepower and a torque curve as flat as Kansas......that's awesome.

Never drag raced with Mark, but I do know I ran up on Mikey, and he pulled me slightly every time on the straights even though I corner exited him. I choose not to bring more power than was required

You were on a mission out on track Danny. The car looked and sounded awesome.
Very well deserved, you guys (Ballards included) put some serious effort into it. It paid off. We were all happy to see an American car will the overall!

Danny, You should hang out here more often so we can all brown nose and steal your ideas.

You will definitely get the rockstar treatment Stielow and Hobaugh get. Start a couple of build threads on your two blue rockets.

Congrats on the win dude.

Thanks for 'Popping' in and giving some insight DP.

The results show that hp isn't everything. What impressed me was the line consistency and amount of corner speed you were carrying in sections that many were having difficulty. Again, nice job of wheeling the car and the enthusiasm and passion you display is a real attribute to all.

Straightaways looked pretty comparable to me. It was under braking and cornering that was the difference.
