Not a secret agent :) BWAAA HAA HAAAA!!! That you know of anyway. After doing Emod for so many years, I like to see what the competitors are doing. It seems to help me think of things that I can look into for my car.
The other reason is I drove a 2 stroke B-Mod car for 2 years and ride a sled in the winter. I have pitched in some tuning ideas over time. After running against a 500 for the first time this year (never saw one last year when I bought the car), I think ya'll have a good advantage on asphalt with the 2 rear wheel drive. On concrete we seem to be similar in accelaration out of corners but 2 weeks ago at the packwood ProSolo, a 500 was pulling me coming out of 2 sweepers. Of course it may have been an optical illusion, it's just what I saw and felt. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of cars a Nationals! That's why I bought an F-Mod car!
