IF you were to gear it for just a top speed run, then I would say yes. But I doubt it could happen on a track geared for a 5-6 min race.

My local track's straight is 160' long and thats big for most electric tracks. Eariler this year Randy Pike of tekin came out and tested with another local tekin driver with a 13.5, I was out there with my SPX. We had a rader gun sitting at the end of the straight.

The highest topspeed any of us could get was 38mph and as I sayed that was with a 13.5 and advanced timing speedos.
