Yes, a lot of big power skyline go there. David Yu has done 200 I believe
Tough ? it's 2 miles long !!!
The bigger power cars are now pulling 200+ in 1/2 mile alone or shortly after. And I've no doubt there are cars here capable of going faster than 240, whether they're just not into that sort of thing or perhaps works in progress ( as all cars tend to be ) I dont know.
Not to take away, a UK record is a UK record, it would be nice to see it over a recognised fixed distance like all the other speed events around the world
