Seems to me that the difference between drag race guys(Import or otherwise)
is that
they focus on horsepower. The "My car makes more horsepower than yours" kinda
thing. Don't get me wrong here, I love to put down the power as much as those
"Wacky CP" guys do! But in this game you gotta turn it and you gotta stop
it.
I think some of "Drag guys"are a little intimidated by that fact. In Auto-x
or any racing that requires you to turn or brake the drivers skill really
comes into play.
In Solo just because you got more horsepower than anybody else doesn't make
you
are an automatic winner, It might make you last!
If you can't get it to the ground, It doesn't matter
