They have a total of around 1.5 miles, but this includes braking distance. Obviously where you need to apply your brakes depends entirely on the speed you get up to and how good your brakes are...

What a cracking day, with some top metal there

Had a couple of good runs before my top speed effort, did not quite go to plan as a boost hose split ,still fairly happy with my speed as i had time to come off the throtle and slow down for the bottom corner pretty much with out brakes.

Big up to every one there, the time, effort ,money and engineering in the cars there was fantastic.

and many thanks to pf for paying for it and to Nick and Dave for the invite

Yes good day but the gearing seems 10mph short of what it was meant to go so over 8000rpm per run was in order ,
So now looking at why it was short so first taking rolling dia of tyres,
Cant say what it did as we respect that PF asked and we signed our life away to them and unlike someone else we respect this,
But we are very happy with the topspeed and changing gearing will only make it go even faster

I hope Euan can beat his last top speed. Have seen cars go down in the past with a rise in performance but not get the expected speed due to different wind conditions!

Would also like to see martins with full boost
His suprise was a snow shovel I kid you not attached to the front of his car but I suppose he is from Scotland .
