You can have 1000 Hp+ but if you can't drive than you can't drive. Not to say your friend can't drive, but some guys get too excited the first time out with major new mods. Next time out if he calms down he may do alot better. The traction loss alone could cause alot of lost time. Sounds like he may have a traction problem? Even if he was only loose for the first few feet the traction could be lost for 10% of the run. You would not notice the tires spining after the first hundred feet in the run. More Hp means more traction needed. I've burned guys with alot more HP just because they melted the tires while I just took my time and kept my traction. Tell your friend not to give up, and give it hell!!!!
