Sure.. you could have a 900ft skidpad if you want. Just plug into the formula. But I have never seen or heard of someone doing a 125 ft one.. heck, the 200ft one us and others use is pretty darn tight. At some point it just becomes a donut.. lol

That doesn't change the fact that the numbers through the cones is all wacked..

The skidpad results seem on track with a car running those types of tires, I had just never heard of a 125ft skidpad.. anyways, that's not really the point of contention.
