I just saw this - I was the other SE. It was pretty embarrasing, I only made one run and I went up against an older Lightning. I had a like a 1.4 second reaction time due to dumping the clutch on the last light and FRYING the tires through first.
My first meet with the SD folks and they got to see that
(Oh, and after I actually got moving the lighting didn't pull on me at all, but IIRC the older ones are mid 15 1/4 trucks anyway)
