Again, there is road legal, and a car that can actually be used on the road. And Santa pod with a surface you actually stick to when you walk on it, is a far cry from any road surface or airfield.

I did 190.7 many years ago over a mile at TOTB, more recent years have been 1km and highest was 183mph.

At another mile event a few years ago, where the organisers timing gear didnt work, and rabbits ate through the wiring so they dropped it to 7/8th mile without telling anyone.

I managed 196 and 198mph via my own logging over the 7/8th mile distance

The only run their timing gear did work, was my final run and was 192mph, although it had already blown up at that point lol

Always knew it was stupid trying to race with a broken alternator. But when you're so close.....its hard to say no. Wont be doing that again !
