I think this is a good event to have one day.

I'm for it, but we need two things - enough space and enough straight track sections!

Oh yes... we'll also need something to measure terminal speed.

I'm pretty sure that our guys' top speeds will be very impressive. Even average speeds now are amazing. I'm not sure what FRC's exact track length is but I believe that it is about 75'. If so, a 5.0 second lap equals 15 '/sec. which in scale speed translates to 327.3 mph. And that is AVERAGE speed !! Current 1:1 F1 cars rarely make it into the 130 mph territory.
