You can use Google maps & use the distance legend at the bottom right corner for distance. I think I provided the link below.

Looking at that overhead photo and doing a little measuring I get a shut that is WAY less than 1320'.....assuming the race track IS 660'....using the 660' track as a reference the shutdown would have to be twice as long as the track to be 1320'....No?

NOT try to cause a shytshow or be an a$$....just trying to get it right..

that you have plenty of shut down to slow your junk! You don't need to pull the chute, no mind swap to a 12' chute Didn't think of that you need to fix your brakes! Laughing very hard

yes of course it has shutdown...and for many, or most, cars they were stopping ok when I
was there.... I needed about 10-20' feet more to stop in time....when Bob said there was 1320' of shutdown there I was confused why I couldn't stop in plenty of time is all....especially driving into the chute...I'll go down and try it again in a few weeks or a month.....if it's still an issue for me I'll just do 60' times....if nothing else I can make sure everything's ok to make the long tow to Vegas....just looking for a place to race

Dave, I think when he says "it's kinda small but there". I believe he means the information about distance is there in the small pic.
