I was hitting the limiter just at the end of the straight on a a good run. That is about 142 mph. If I was running a sticky tire, I would not make it. Coming off turn 15 is a bit scary with the street tires. I roll off the corner in 3rd and squeeze it to the floor once it is straight. I lift off the throttle between the end of the pit wall and the start finish line. I could go a bit deeper, but not worth it for me at this point. With sticky tires, I would come off 15 much harder and go into 1 deeper. I would need a 150+ final gear.
