What do you think is the max speed achievable for an unlimited?
Not just a short sprint but continuous that could be held until the fuel tank runs dry.
Like in a jet most are mach .8-.9 unless with an afterburner (F-22 & a few others excepted), so top speeds of mach 2+ were very rarely obtained unless for a few minutes.
What would a racer (or warbird P-51/Seafury etc) be able to do without nitro, ADI, water sprays etc.
The current upper limit being about 540mph (Dago & Rare bear) for short bursts with all the magic gear, without? maybe 400? more or less?
In a race like the old Cleavland or Mojave races, what speeds could be held?
