id be careful on how hard you launch with the mickeys. if the track has a good pit than you might wind up breaking something more than the tires loose. i suggest working on your launches if you have never used em. only way i think you could beat him is if you pull hard on the top end. he'll own you off of the line. being a 1/4 mile, u might have a chance. on the 1/8 he'd kill you.
