Island is 20 minutes from my house. I've raced there since.....forever. You have to get on the brakes as soon as you clear the finishline. If you coast down a ways you'll be in trouble and leaning on the brakes very hard. I have run nearly 170 in a dragster and 150 in a doorcar and never had any problem. Many weekly bracketdragsters run 170+ and have no problems stopping without a chute. A hardtail car really is better off using one.....Pits are small..
