I asked for a smiley didn't I?
My point was most of our guys leave time on the table that is not a result of lack of HP. Obviously my point was missed.
I could run CMC2 at 230 hp and likely finish very well. Those who are HP lacking would benefit from running at whatever they have and trying to out drive those who are at the 260 limit. Retreating to CMC is not the answer (my opinion only). Francis is a good example of doing well w/ what you have. He was making like 212 hp last year. Sure, its not a 30 hp deficit.
Its great to see folks max'ing the Toyo payout, but I think it is better to see everyone in CMC2. Car count is king!
