Default John, saw your Bonneville segment on the Travel Channel show, very cool. My stupid question is...

John,

Cool segment on Wreakreation Nation on Travel Channel on the host using your RS4 to hit 130MPH from a standing start at Bonneville.

So here's my deeply stupid question/observation.

The host just barely hit 130 MPH on the salt in an RS4 after a mile.

I know drag goes by the square of the speed and it's salt not asphalt. But, it still feels like even a newb TV host should be able to go faster than that after a mile in your car.

I guess I'm saying, John tell me the arcane ways of the salt...

Default the salt has drag....wide tires are not good

John's brother did like 137 in the same car. John is in the 150 club with his old modified A4.
