In the third round of the No Prep Kings Invitational at Maple Grove, the competition continued to heat up, and there were some thrilling matchups that kept fans on the edge of their seats. As the competition intensifies, the debate over pro-chargers and screw-blowers continues. The current rules appear to favor pro-chargers, particularly in favorable air conditions, where they exhibit a slight advantage over screw-blower-equipped cars.
The races in this round highlighted the challenges faced by racers, particularly when it comes to overpowering the track. With the power generated by pro-charger and screw-blower cars, finding the right balance can be tricky, as seen in the pedal-heavy race between Daddy Dave and Paige Coughlin. Despite the difficulties, Paige's team managed to repair her car after an incident that saw her hit the wall, a testament to their determination.
