Otherwise, peaks around 1200-1250*

1650 when the Quad 2 RACE first came out to see what it was all about. Only for about 1.5 sec. You people saying 1250 either never get on it or your pyro is not in the right place.

1730* towards the end of the 1/4 mile on the track. That was with older Smarty/TST/EZ stack and stock sticks. Now I haven't seen over 1575* on the track with new Smarty TNT/R and TST/EZ.
