Default Thunderhill max speed?

I need to know the max speed reached at Thunderhill in race prepped S2000.
I used to have a data log from T-hill but I can't find it now.

Rylan? Dave?

Thanks in advance.

I'd guess 125mph going the "normal" direction, CCW. The "abnormal" direction netted 135+ in Dave's car before braking for T14...

135!!!!

Most I've seen is 119 (indicated). My speedo runs a little on the slow side, though and that's with the top down.

yeah, I'd guess about 125-130 down the front straight. I see > 100mph before/thru 8, into 10 and into 14.

Cool, thanks guys. I was thinking the TL and the S2000 would be similar in lap times and one of our transmission guys was trying to figure out some max pump rate numbers for a potential cooler.

Come on out to the 25 Hour (first weekend of Dec) and say hi.
