okay, i can do the conversion for KW to HP in case i want to drive a small compressor or other equipment, but how do equate a 3 hp compressor start-up in rush current requirements with the peak vs. steady load rating of a generator?

i am also considering just going the bottled nitrogen route for tires and miscellaneous impact requirements and going with a small generator for recharging items and lighting, etc.

any recommendations for how big for use at the track or brands?
