      It’s not traction, it’s drivetrain. They could put identical suspension and tires on both cars and Ruby will always launch better because of her powerglide. But Leroy’s stickshift is one of the key things that makes this car badass, aside from the 427 and twin turbskis 🤪

      Leroy is a turd out of the hole, but is absolutely unreal once he hits third and fourth. Ruby needs another turbski, she runs out of steam on the top end.

      He needs to launch Leroy a little bit harder and he’d be SMOKIN the 7’s

      @@itchyprince3793 He can't launch it really any harder because of his tire choice. They purposely run those tires to take stress off the driveline because its a manual. If he used the same tires as ruby they could set up their slipper clutch differently and launch harder but at the risk of potentially breaking parts.

      Jeremy thanks for the clarification. I was wrong. You were right. Thanks again for the additional knowledge you’ve so graciously provided to me.

    The fact that you touched that bald eagle switch in Leroy on the same strip of pavement I spent years racing on is insane. Touch’s my heart.

    Having one car finish race week is a huge accomplishment.
    Having three cars that were entered finish race week with one entry winning the class is simply amazing.

      How about last few entries where ruby was fighting for the win! Leroy won those and ruby was right there aswell

      Honestly, I would not have been surprised if they pulled 3 wins off. That team is magic.
