This will be my 3rd year in a row doing a charity speed event called Race The Runway in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada. It's to raise money for an airport and it takes place on a runway, hence the name RTR. Its a standing start 1/2 mile run with measurements of time at the 1/4 and speed at the 1/2 mile. My best is 10.1 at the 1/4 and 251 km/h at the half. I am able to win the 1/4 mile both years but want to win overall. Last year I lost to a $700,000 Lambo Aventador that posted 258 km/h at the 1/2.
Here's the issue. There is a 1/4 mile braking area before you reach the end of the runway and then it becomes grass and then a swampy area. Bad in a sports car but really, really bad on a bike. We had a 900 hp Nissan GTR and a 1000 hp Corvette go off the end at previous events. Both sustained some front end damage as they turned into plows. I am considering going to an RCC Stage 1 kit this year and winning overall top speed as well as dropping my 1/4 mile considerably. Problem is stopping. Does anyone know how fast I can go while still being able to stop in the 1/4 mile braking zone? I am still running stock brakes w/ ss lines on my 2005 busa. Experimentation would solve this issue but we only get 3 runs per year so there isn't much time for that type of research.
BTW, 251 km/h is 156 mph
1/4 mile is 1320 ft.
