Racing down the runway

[BrettR]

If weather permits. This afternoon i might be able to get a few runs down the runway at my friends father-in-laws airport. The runway is a mile long I think. This should be fun!!
Going to bring your gopro and try to get some nice videos!
Any suggestions for the video?

If you find that works out well.
Have him invite all of us there for a day of 3/4 mile drags.

 

[BrettR]

I will ask him tomorrow. That would be a blast!

Dude I would love to do this! I would drive the 10 hours just so I can partake. 1 mile you say? you are easily going to hit 180mph....I say mount the gopro inside the car maybe just behind your shoulder? be safe and have fun!

That would be a blast. Be safe.

Sounds like a good time. It would be even better with a few friends from SVTP:burnout:. Maybe next time. Stay safe and enjoy the day.:beer:

Sounds like your afternoon is gonna be fun!! Only thing that's gonna hurt you is humidity and temp tho.

Would be sweet if could get them to rent out place for a day or two of racing.

Where in Louisiana are you located?

1 mile total? I dont know if you could hit 180 and have time to get stopped again. Maybe? Im anxious to see the results!

Lafayette
Yeah that would be nice. It doesn't hurt to ask

I think it is one mile total so I would say maybe 1/2 mile - 3/4 mile runs should give you room to stop..

Yes it would be even better with you all.

You will not hit 180 MPH.

With the Texas Mile cars that I have driven I was 165 MPH at the half and 170 MPH at the half with each car. You need to mark off the 1/2 Mile mark and get on the brakes at the marker.

You should expect to see 145 to 155 MPH depending on wind and other conditions.

Thanks I will mark the half mile for braking. Do you think we would have enough room to stop after 3/4

You could run close to 3/4 but 1/4 shut down isn't a lot of space at 160+ MPH.

You will stand on the brakes at that point. Multiple runs and you could boil the brake fluid standing on it that hard.

I'd stick to the half mile. If the brake pedal gets soft pump it fast!!

Have fun!

See if you can get a drivers vantage point and also stick the suction cup to the door outside, fairly low. That way you can hear the exhaust and see the front wheel / road. It's gonna be fun! Be safe and post em up as soon as you can!

 

[Devious_Snake]

oh well if its only 1/2 mile then yea you will still get some good speed on it...but Van is the expert, hell I would change brake fluids beforehand just in case :shrug:....would still love to do this

In California the braking area needs to be at least twice as long as the distance run. Does the airports insurance cover drag racing? :idea:Sure hate to see your father in law lose his airport to some accident and lawsuit(assuming you are not the only one running?).

Well, guys looks like it won't happen today.
Looks like they are getting back to late so we are going to do this another time. I was so excited to do this but oh well. Sorry
