You must have more insight than I do, because I have not heard the amount of spray for the motor he is assembling.
In my eyes, here lies the problems for Tony.
Casper is a well sorted out truck, proven to hook and go in a mud puddle. Bottle Rocket hasn't made a clean pass yet. This fact is huge.
The tree. If they go pro tree, Andy is more "recent" (for lack of better term) and raced so I say the light goes to Andy.
It's 1/8 mile. This leaves no room for error, and Casper being an automatic and BR being a clutch car, error to be made on the launch and down track has to be in Casper's favor.
It's one and done. If an error anywhere is made, or caught sleeping at the lights, no redo.
So what's in Tony's favor ??
It's one and done. If he sprays 300 shot it only has to live once for a few seconds.
It's one and done. Should Casper break traction (no trial runs, it's off the trailer) BR could take the win.
It's one and done. If he can tree Andy, or anything to get the lead in the 60 ft, he may not give it up in the rest of the 560 ft.
4k on the line. That's a lot of money. For one 660 ft race, Tony may go more crazy because he has less of everything invested means he just cares less.
