I'm always just a bit suprised on the people that want to go FAST 1st, slow down 2nd ..
More than once , I've had someone come up to me and say
"wow, the shut down area is short"
Did you go look at the end before you belted in ?
Ahh, gee ..No I didn't ?
Kidding me right ..No man, I didn't ..
You dumb chit ..
I have a nice brakes and a chute and think about what if each and every pass ..
Sadly few do ..
i have a friend with a old tea cup master cylinder , Hemi car goes low , low 10's big old heavy b-body ..seen it go 10.19
thinks its cool , "nostalgic"
Be real cool flying off the end at a buck 135
