I love those radar trailers on the side of the road. Years ago they put on on my "test strip" at about 1100 feet out from the starting line. It was great, I was getting MPH readings at the end of near 1/4 mile passes on a day that I was playing around with my carb. Problem was, it peaked out at 99 mph, so later in the day I had to move my starting point up a bit to get a true reading off the trailer. That little trailer helped me pick up almost 10 mph in the quarter by giving me real feedback after each little carb adjustement. Without waiting in line at the dragstrip. Although I suggest none of us test our stuff on the street, now that I am older and wiser.
