If you're trying to gain good data, it is more of a challenge since driver error plays a bigger role on a shorter track.

Thank god for Atco!!! As long as you have a helmet and you aren't leaking any fluid, they don't seem to care how fast you go (in regards to street cars). They might have a speed limit, but it's much faster than 13.5; even for roadsters.
Atco abides by NHRA division 1 rules. I think it's still 11.50 and faster you are required to have a roll bar. Not sure about roadsters.....There isn't any speed restriction. You can run 12.0@130 and you would be ok. lol, it really makes no sense, but hey, im cool with that.
