Those results, what Sipelgaz posted, will not do any good now...:) B-class second place made 259 there, but managed 257 on one km (he won the class in front of Hook)! So people have worked on their cars also..:). I do not expect that kind of +20-30kmh increase on a mile, but still, he can make it quite fast.
Still, you guys have pretty good chance for a very high places..;) Against very hot weather, there CO2 extinguisher..;) Frozen IC can do wonders..:) Or maybe some dry ice..;)
Of course there are always faster cars, even though they would not show up in these types of contest and I will be just happy to get a decent run through and then to see how long it will carry on the score bords. You newer know what will happen during the run and it better to wait after it driven and not to expect too much in advance.
I personally drive these types of contest annually, mainly as a measurement of personal development . Began year 2005 with 239km/h, 2006 254km/h, 2007 272km/h and this year 286km/h. Additional joy if ofcourse obtained if you find cars like Lambor's, Ferraries, Vipers, powerful AMG' M-bmw's etc behind you in the results at the end of the day. ;)
In the 286 run speed at 1mile was 280km/h, weather something like 15C and wind from side (does not affect). 1km ~250km/h, but unlike hooks 242 run this is with 5th gear from 220km/h and up.
For heat control I run with water/methanol injection, but it alone is does not take car of the initial problem since it does not cool the air prior to the turbo's compressor which cause the drop in air delivery. Likewise the CO and dry ice will not cure it either, only a bigger turbo will do it.
