[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 2730220, member: 10303"] One important factor about Bonneville that you don't have to worry about on a track. Your running on salt. The traction can be all over the place. You can hook up just fine at the two mile and be sliding all over the place at the three, even with two thousand pounds of downforce. I have run bikes there and it's a really strange feeling to suddenly see your tach go from 8500 to 13,000 when you hit a slippery spot. One year the traction was so bad that I had to gear for 236 just to hit 180, that's 46mph of wheelspin going through the timing traps. I bet the F-1 cars could hit over 300mph on concrete but may only go 250 on the salt. [/QUOTE]
