Good question....

Loooooooooong!!!!

By my very crude measurements on googlemaps...about 50m give or take a few

And that doesn't include any of the run up or run off for the corners at either end...def be interesting to measure it out for real though and see.

Keep an eye for a speed trap at one of our events this year though

Cheers Andy.

Trying to work out the gearing as it's about twice the length of Tivvy.

As for the speed trap, I hope you're not planning on handing out speeding tickets...LoL.

Really surprised with how quickly a 13.5 boosted shifted down that long straight! Rapid!
