no no no you guys got it all wrong..... what TreeFrog needs to do is the day before the race begins, ask him if the race is still on against the honda and if he saids yeah, you need to bring this out that day....









































































along with this:




and i will guarantee that you will beat the Monte Carlo with 15 car length headstart! no doubt! haha

Don't race. Don't waste your gas or his. You know the outcome. Its like racing a retarded kid, even if you win he still retarded, meaning your car is ages slower.

I don't have an answer for your question, but I say, why not, if it's all just for fun. I wouldn't put money on it, though. It would be fun, though to go to the strip with him and then both of you go to an autocross. :-)

Im right with you on this one bro! Why the hell would that show pair cars up where one needs 10, 15, or even worse like I once saw, Half a Freakin Track lead to determin the winner. Dumbest thing ever!

Well consider this the track is 1320 feet long, your car is 174.8 in. long or ~14.5 feet so @ 15 car lengths =217.5 feet worth of a head start. So you have 1102.5 ft to finish or 16% less track. If you run a 15 sec flat 1/4 that should but you at about a ~12 second run in the 1102.5 foot of track you have in your race. You will lose at 15 lengths.
