FWD cars do react slower but, can go .0's and .00's if you know how to race.

I personally do not like racing on a .500's tree. Pro Tree all day long for me.

You do know that he is talking about a .500's PRO TREE. Not a sportman tree.

I agree with everyone here, leave it alone. Just practice at the .400 and .500 will be a joke

90% of the lights I've seen are from the low 100s to high 80s.... Most of the high 80s are usally put in deep or are still rolling

Iam by no means saying you can't go in the teens or 0s....but it would be nice to do it shallow
