Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 17/11/12 07:23 AM Share Posted 17/11/12 07:23 AM Indication would be more by mph when crossing the line..Say you cross the line doing 110mph.. Which is 178.2kmh I think.Which is 49.5metres per second.Car is about 5 metres long.. So every car length is approx 1/10 of a second.
