Lupe didn't get a very good launch; kind of bogged, Carlos hammered it pretty decent though, if a bit slow on the reaction time. Once Lupe got moving he was pulling pretty nice. Carlos still won the race by .2 seconds, I think.. they'll have to post their times. 2001 ATX V6 Dark Shadow Grey Merc Cougar(Sport Pkg, ABS, traction control and sunroof )

I had a ton of wheel hop and tire slippage. Traction is a difficult thing to have on this car i'm noticin.
