It may not corner as well but as far as being put out of a race because someone runs into you etc. it seems like it would be far tougher.
I suppose I'll find out .... some day ... whenever the Joliet track is built but I know several guys on SC who race competitively in the A-Mains at local tracks, however, they have said the Savage is worthless in national competition.
I just point out that bashers get REALLY carried away, especially when you mix beer, testosterone, and peer pressure. I remember video footage of a guy driving his Revo into a FIRE! Showmerc has video of guys stuffing skyrockets into trucks and lighting them off. Tell me they didn't regret that the next day when they sobered up!
