Do U think if that was at 85% the damage would have been any less severe??

They said the gear drive broke on the telecast. It would have been the same at probably 75%. Don't think the percentage had anything to do with it.

According to AJ after the final, 85% is still working for them.

Re: tony p big boom - 90% nitro downside

VERY few cars are on 90% right now. VERY few.
(And my above post should read Tony P was on 90%? Just needed to clarify which Tony.)

Thumbs up Re: tony p big boom - 90% nitro downside

Gear Drive or Crank they both are really really bad in nitro motor.

Mike Dunn at World Finals in Hawaiian Punch car loudest BANG I ever heard.
Crank broke pitched the engine clean out of the car all but #7 & #8
The impact Suit worked very well.
Tony will be back.
