Yep, that might help once you get to the end of the straight!!!!!!!
But as one guy told me, "we don't need no stinkin brakes".....

I can't imagine running on a straight that long. At NPR, I get on the 1900 foot long front straight at about 50 mph and hit about 135mph (6,500 rpms) when it's time to let off and hit the brakes.....top running cars in GT class are regularly hitting 160mph on this same straight!!!!!!!!!....I don't have near enough motor/gearing to run a 5000 foot straight!!!!!!!!!
