My mod JPX hit 62 MPH in 300', my mod Picco 28 hit 68 MPH in 300'....The 28 could pull more but we couldn't keep the car straight enough to make a full run....... even at 62 MPH we had issues with air getting under the body and causing the car to flip over backwards....
i love this video of you JPX Neal ......especially around 1:30 mark
