Re: chad
Why race over a scale 1000ft ? wouldnt it make more sense to race over a scale 1/4 mile ? (1320ft) |

Re: chad
With a scale 1/4 mile there is only about 7 meters to pull up @ 160 kph I don't think they would stop to well that is why we went to 1000 ft to give more braking so not to destroy cars |

Like what another certain unmentioned raceway has developed a habit of doing. No way is the Argy Jr. hot rod racing down that when that's happening. Well done, Alan. Top job as usual. _________________ XSRDragRacing.com - Western Australian slot drag racing site XLR8Raceway.com - 1/32nd fun located in Bibra Lake |

Re: chad
come on John, it was a lot less than 7m left over wasnt it? Extra breaking area was needed anyway. |

Re: chad
About 7 meters could be a little more and a little less can't remember and with the qualty of the track so far cars are going to reach huge speeds so we can't skimp on the breaking area |
