Wes and all,I believe B'ville is a different story-it's a flying mile speed
after
a long run up.Maxton is a terminal speed measured over a short distance at the
end of the mile.Like I said earlier-a long drag race.I'd personally like to see
more cosistency in starting line proceedure but if everone is ok on a variety of
proceedures it's fine by me.Gotta go find those rocket bottles.
