We were able to get a 3100lb car to make the last turn (but barely) with cheap Aerospace brakes, single parachute - 153mph pass.

We used to take a 3000lb car..don't remember what kind of brakes, single parachute, ran 5.11 @ 144. That car had no problem at all stopping. (and it was a total piece of shit)

Rotary cars barely weigh more than a pair of my shoes.
