Yes its a interesting one,, Chris I like your "valid" point about slippery vehicles being harder to slow down,, Brakes would be toast anywhere north of two hundred,, your covering over 1/8 of a mile a second, so you pull the chute, drive into it while waiting for it to deploy, then apply a little br...

Hey Pete, there is no video showing on my screen, maybe its a complete smokeout, cant smell anything neither

Just watched the video footage on Slims site,, there was still more braking track when he took the exit,, Interesting point, is that with these 450 cars is getting the things up to speed in the short distance before the end timers, you have to be north of 400 at the mile timing lights 8) Yup, your g...

Consistant ,, im wondering if pulling the thing up has them not taking the next step, how much braking length do thay have on this course

I have been using one of these to moniter weather conditions both here and Bonneville, and swear by them when it comes to tuning,, This was my "spare" weather tracker, never been used,, comes with all paperwork and original box,, Purchased a number of years back so letting it go cheap(now) at AU$200...
