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

That would probably be a good idea to have a cone or sign saying
1. "Stock Brakes start braking here."
2. "BBK start braking here."
3. "If you haven't started braking bail now."

This is a Calculation for a generic Car with good traction.
If you have very good traction then u = 0.8
If you're traveling at a speed of Velocity @ 150 mph or 219.99 feet per second.
Your Distance=940.83 ft to come to a stop.
The Z/Gs that are lighter and have a BBK will probably need less room.

Under the same conditions
if velocity = 160 mph, distance to stop = 1070 ft
if velocity = 170 mph, distance to stop = 1208 ft
if velocity = 180 mph, distance to stop = 1354 ft
If you want to stop in exactly 1000 ft max speed is 154.65 mph
If you have very good traction then u = 0.8

Also if traction is less than stellar you're looking at much lower SAFE top speed.
say u = 0.6
@ 133.93 mph it would take a 1000 ft. to stop.

Anyone interested in trying this theory out on behalf of the Z community.

I'd say with a BBK, full treaded quality tires one of our Z/Gs could do it.

To be safe we should have signs or flags that call out the distance. The winner should probably be declared at 2000 feet to leave a safety margin. We'll have to get out there and see. I have a for sale sign that you stick in the ground, but I don't think it will fit in my trunk!
Injected or Forged - do you have a large sign or flag on a pole that can be stuck into the ground?
Maybe just cones? Anyone have cones?

No one will get to 200 mph in 2000-2500 feet (except the green monster of course, which may do an exhibition run if we're lucky 
). But 1500 braking distance to start seems reasonable and if that turns out to be excessive we can extend the course. Keep in mind the airport is at elevation 2000 ft., not sea level.
