    VERY cool! I did hear one of the racers talk about going 170 on the straight...

    I can't wait to go back there for MCADX '09!

    "nice bathroom and showers"

    good report otherwise. Should be very helpful to newbies that don't get Frank's awesome track walk.

    Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
    Engineers say "Not so fast."

    Yea, thats pretty optimistic...170 on the straight. And was he holding his breath while in the garages, since there is no air in them???

    Take a look at part two. The straight is 1200 feet long. I would've put it at 1000, tops!

    And here I thought the thread title was a video clip of me doing 160 Apparently there is someone even more delusional then myself doing 170..or so his speedo says Seems if one was to do "120" over the jump he would be airborn. ..not that I'm sayin it couldn't be done

    Cool vid

    I think it's actually much longer than 1200 feet...

    Nah, Matt's older than that. I think he's at least 18.
