Its only 1/8 mile racing generally. I had no issues stopping from 153 in the 1/8 with the Stratus. We have MUCH shorter tracks out here. You wont have an issue.

Pull the chute before the stripe to be safe . After the high gear shift put your hand on the handle and be ready

I'd love to pull the chute. But the car doesn't have one. I believe shutting down from my speed if it was at the 1/8 would be OK. It's the speed at the end of the 1/4 that worries me. Doug

They always bragged about Norwalk having a 1/2 mile. I know at 160mph in my Daytona I didn’t need my chute.

Having raced extensively at 131 and Norwalk over the years, Norwalk is shorter. First pass at Norwalk I made in my old car I had both driver side tires in the grass making the turn, remember thinking how quick it came up. I have always been kinda slow getting on the brakes, but that really had me change my habits racing there back then.

I'm going to give it a shot. I talked to a few that have run London Ky at 150. It's even shorter than Kil Kare. Get on the brakes right at the stripe and you have room. And for the record Norwalk has about 75 ft longer shut down than 131. I've run Milan, Mid Michigan, 131, Norwalk, Dragway 42, Quaker City, National trail, Indy, Beech Bend, Clay City. No issue stopping at any of them. Always run 145-150. The shortest of the bunch are 42 and Milan which is my home track. Kil Kare is 250 ft shorter than Milan's main turn off. Doug

I do know that from going there 45 years or so it’s longer than it used to be. Cars used to e d up in the airport quite often.

Running at 150 should have a chute anyway. You never know, just in case.
