You are right about some models, but a BB in a highboy "brick" and "skinney"
tires will run into the air wall and traction limit way before it runs out
of power. Weight will help go faster then. Kind of like a balancing act
between enough for traction and too much that you can't pull it. Could use a
variance on Jack's theory, add weight till you slow down then add horsepower
he he.
