There becomes a point where it doesn't work though.. for example you couldn't have a 50 ft skidpad.. or one that is 3000 ft.. Maybe it was a 125ft skidpad. When I first made my mention that there is no such thing I thought the testing was done by Super Chevy and in that case there is no such thing. If some outside group or person did the testing then who knows what they used.
Still, the car did not go through 420 ft of cones spaced 70 feet apart at 58mph modified and 55mph with leaf springs.. no way.. no how.. :shrug:
