I'd like to advance a subject that's not often considered in this sport,
namely braking a vehicle. Basically, is there a formula that considers speed,
weight, a drag chute, CD, Tires, etc., and obviously surface to determine a
safe distance? Obviously the best answer will be actual experience on the
track
of choice, but I observed the NHRA shut down areas and see how fast the Top
Fuelers and Funnies stop, considering their speed, but this has to do with
BHP available, I'd assume.
Mayf, single syllable words, please.
