I think Roger clocked my son (AS 136) at 66 with the radar gun on Saturday.
Sunday was probably a little quicker.
I don't think there was much issue with going off the surface where the top
speed was on that course. It was more or less straight and then brake for
the slalom. Most of the spins seemed to be in the large offsets and the
u-turn.
