Five days to go and I am competing in this years 30 - 130 event for the first time at Marham RAF base.

As most will know it takes place on a runway 1.5 miles long and you are timed from 30 to 130 mph. You then have the option to pull off or keep the thing on the floor to record the highest speed possible.
I believe orange cones are set at where you need to think about braking followed by two red ones that indicate if you are still on the floor the chances of you enjoying hospital food for the forthcoming month are probable.

An accurate graph has suggested that my P1 in 6th gear at 8000 rpm, running on my 18" wheels with 35 series, and current box will achieve 197 mph.
Weather I can do it in the distance is another matter? although I did time myself the other day and from 100 to 145 mph in 5th was about 5 seconds but I could not equate the time in distance.


I've been advised by FatBoy to tape the plastic trim on the front windscreen as he lost his last year at 160 mph. Many other guys I know lost there's too so I will be using plenty of duck tape.
As well as the VBox that is plugged into the cig' lighter I will have my own one on my ipod "dynolicious" Ap that I am taping on my windscreen. That way I will have an idea of what speed I am doing.

The only thing that concerns me is this. If I am doing 192 mph through the red cones, do I lift, or go for the big 197 ??
