My 2002 Sun'N'Fun SUN 100 1st Place Trophy says 202.19 Kts in 24 Mins 20 Secs.  So, 202.19 x 24.33 / 60 = 82 NM.
82 NM = 94.36 statute miles = 151.9 Km.

Grayhawk,

Based on the lat/long numbers at http://www.aircraftspruce.com/news.html and my trusty Garmin 195, I calculate the length of the Lakeland 100 mile race at 76.1 nm or 87.5 statute miles.

76.1 nm 3,600 sec
That means: ----------- x ----------- = 187.64 knots
1,460 sec hr

or

87.5 nm 3,600 sec
----------- x ----------- = 215.75 miles per hour
1,460 sec hr

Scott, where is the error in our calculations. Please verify my GPS distance from the web sight listed above.

By the way, 187 knots just so happens to be the exact speed that I turned when racing at Fredericksburg, VA a couple of years ago.

Now who has the fastest plane...? It just couldn't be Sonic Boom?

And for all of you other "fast" 320's out there, lets see some REAL numbers. Put your throttle where your pens are. Lets see some proof. Join the races.
