125-129 depending on conditions.
Thanks Zsolt.
Probably a little higher in an rx7 or youngs tr8. Not in my car but i have heard close to 140 in other rx7's

Come on Earl, every (non-racer) I speak to gets told that my SSM is hitting "about 148" at the end of the front straight...
But you conveniently leave out the "KPH" part? :DQuote:

Agree Jeff from what others have told me in an rx7 with all the stars aligned on the perfect lap you can be very close to 137-139.Quote:

The Rustangs didn't even hit that last year. But, this year we've got new motors and new gearing. Screw that 5th gear stuff. I'm hoping for considerably better than our last CMS outing.Quote:

I really could not tell you with the current car. I did not add the speed sensor to the Stack system with this install. I will pull some data and run it through the gear program and see what we were doing.
Roh oh. We got some work to do then ......Quote:

hmm just got back from running at charlotte in the rain. my data showed 125.9 going to the stripe. but I know I was going faster in the night race. probably 128 range.
