Not Ranked

perhaps my analogy was not correct with regards to a 289 vs a 427. the point I was (am) trying to make is I feel a properly set up car with 500+ hp will do well against a car with 750+ HP, on a technical track that requires some driving skills. The car with 750+ HP will simply spin the tires and you will wind up taking a trip into the weeds or even worse, the wall. Yea I agree a track like willow springs with Long down hill straight the high HP car will most likely prevail. There is not a ton of talent required to run with leader group on that track. Typically guys drive over their head when suddenly in the leader group when never really been there before... LOL
