I am having trouble believing that is possible. The highest speeds measured at the BSB Brands weekend were about 112mph, at a point 400m from a third gear sweeping corner. I don't see that, even with another 100m to play with, it is possible to hit 6mph more than that from a slow 2nd gear bus stop. There is no way my motor could pull up to 8750 on 15/42 by the bridge. It was only just pulling those rpms on the 14/43 gearing.

(Skids, check my Primary against those rolling road figures - I was running 14/43 at Brands)
