That really isnt too much longer than a 1/4 mile track. You have to think, you are only going to be able to accelerate for about half the lenght of the track and then you will need the other half for a safe breaking distance.

IDK, maybe im over analyzing it.

Hey Welcome.

Chrysler guy driving a Z? Isn't that a sin? Do they force you to park really really really far away from the building?
