Slalom speed?
What is our Stock Slalom speed? (I think I spelled that right!!)
I'm not planning on doing it or anything but I was just curious about what it is.
And whats a braking from 60mph to 0mph? How many feet?

Here is a reference, watch this video:

Slalom speeds are calculated when the cones are put X distance apart from eachother and a car just weaves in and out. I've seen some Lotus' cars do the slalom at 77mph...to compare that its like you going 77mph and weaving in and out of the white lines on the highway.

Yes maxshuty, let me explain. Slalom speeds are calculated when the cones are put X distance apart from eachother and a car just weaves in and out. I've seen some Lotus' cars do the slalom at 77mph...to compare that its like you going 77mph and weaving in and out of the white lines on the highway.
