its an inch every 5 and a half feet which I wouldnt say is HUGE.

Id also question how accurate google earth is.

It certainly is huge when 10th's of a second are involved.

It would change your time by a very noticeable as you are constantly going downhill so by the end of it you will bring your time down by a good amount........

Hanging their heads in shame probably. Either that or they've gone to get the climbing gear so they can go and check it out for themselves :p

I only posted this for a laugh mate. Plus, I should expect the RAF would want their planes to accellerate faster to get in the air in the 20's.

for anyone that has actually been there... there is a steep drop at the end of the strip after the finish line. Its is VERY noticable so if that point is after the finish line then the different elevation is irrelevant.

And again I wouldnt trust google earth, I wouldnt trust the percentage it is out at any given location to be uniform.. no more than when I use google maps to plot my journey do I pay any attention to the estimated journey time..

I was told that when you were there you tripped over at the start line fell down the cliff, sorry, track.

lol.. I was paying my entry fee and I dropped a 1 euro coin and it began rolling and it did a 12 second pass - the 60ft time was slow though.

I heard that when it rains there the water runs off the track so fast it causes flooding in the surrounding areas.
