Kilo 143 avg. Mile 148. avg. The FIA uses the total of of the ET divided by
2 and scta uses the avg. of the speed MPH for the total mph. There is a
slight difference in the results.
As I don't have the actual ET to do the math we will have to wait for the
official results. they went down at 144 and returned at 151. Don Wells was
driving.
