Grats JDC! Now that I know that, i'm going to feel bad when I inevitably steal the win from you this season.

This is going to be a great finish WorpeX! Once again I love the competition! There were some super close match ups in this championship tourney. Anything can happen...we'll see who comes out on top

Does this mean I've proven that FTEs are faster than non FTEs???
Probably not. What it does show is that, within my collection, some of my fastest non FTE cars were schooled by some pretty quick FTE models
What do you guys think?

Way to go FTEs!
I wonder how the FTEs will hold up against the new HSWs?

I changed up my list of cars for this and have added in the HSW's as a Non-FTE. I have the tournament started, but not finished yet. The FTE's are all ranked though. Still working on the Non-FTE ranking! Since i've picked up a few more FTE's since then, I will also have a 16 car bracket for mine.

Interesting to see the FTE's dominate in your tournament JDC! I didn't think it would be such a clear win!

The only super close race that took three runs to decide was between the 5 Spoke Shelby Daytona and the Fast Fish FTE. It was mostly the FTE cars taking it to the non FTE in both lanes.

JDC442, what are the track specs for the test? Would you say that many of the races were won in the flat run-off area?
