Yeah I know and it could have worked out better if more peoples' cars were up and running. For the cheaper per participant factor is why I said let whoever run.

Is everyone going to do some Solo dry runs first to make sure they know the airstrip conditions?

Actually some N/A guys might appreciate topping 130+ plus in a safe environment without Johnny law breathing down their neck.

Maybe this is something you should consider.....

There is an upside to this...I would only have to use one turbo

The most embarrassing point in my life was when an Acura pulled on me until I got to 90mph.....I would have passed him but he came off it when he saw me catching up... My wife laughed her azz off .

You think I would bring it out so you guys can finish me off

^Ahhh of course, the infamous RSX type-S. I guarantee you, as soon as he got home, he immediately went and logged into whatever forum he goes to and bragged to all his boys about how he "smoked" you, but then again, who could blame him, lol.

RAJ...this is a little bit OT, but since you're good with formulas, is there a way to roughly figure out(other than going out and trying it on the street) how many feet you must have to stop at different top end speeds without having to toast your brakes.I know that BBK's and pads make a difference in stopping, but just an idea of stopping distance would be interesting. As you know I only 1/4 mile my car at top speed of 126mph and it comfortably takes me another 1/4 mile to bring it down. I'm just curious what its going to take to slow down these cars that are going to hit 150mph+....I'm talking from a dig and not a roll.

I know the stock 350z brakes and a 3400 lb car can stop at Speed World from 163-165mph without any problems...on skinnies How long is that track?

Whats up guys....I have a feeling you guys are on the road to N.J right now I think the air strip is 5,000 ft IIRC. I was just hoping that someone would be able to figure out that at xxxxx ft you better start braking or you're going thru the fence
