[QUOTE=morph;4701026]If the surface is greasy, damp and cold do you think people would honestly have the balls to keep going on a top speed challenege the same as when the surface is dry? braking distance would probably be double for one thing. I did a 128mph, i think stu did a 140 and rob did a 155mph, rob's is capable of 170mph!
Reason was we were all bored and thought we'd go for a thrash![/QUOTE

How fast were you expecting to be goin at the end of the qtr mile then, won't effect the terminal of that would it? Fair enough on the topspeed run, headwinds can massively affect things at brunters as well it seems and wet/greasy isn't a good combination! All i will say is i did over 140 up there and didn't have any issue whatsoever stopping for the bottom corner, the car ran out of puff imo before i ran out of space Hope you get another chance later in the year when the weather's alot better
