Well you said you would do it!!!. Just wanted to give a big congrats!!! to Vic and Jenny on JET30R last night at a Wednesday street meet ran 159.95 mph on and off the throttle twice. I am starting to think you prefer a non prept track???? The et was down from its 8.91 best however with a 1.59 60ft i believe the ET is the next to drop... not bad for a 28 x 9 heavy weight 3200 pounds!! i beleive gentlemen that is now showing 1010 moroso!

To answer your question: is it safe to say 159.95mph is 160?, then I would say, if you are using the figure tell people what it can do/did, and saves having to say 159.95 all the time - then yes - for all intensive purposes you did 160. If there was a bet or money riding on you doing a 160mph, then no - 159.95 is not 160... bloody close, but not past the line for a technicality. oh... and... congrats on the run - either way, its bloody fast!!

Yeh why not !!, many have done worse... Carton of wild turkeys is $89.99, but when u get to the counter and rip ur cash out, all of a sudden its 90 bucks. LOL You put $50.03 in the tank at the servo, u get inside to pay and the **** wants $50.05.. LOL Good chance, as stated, that had u taken a dump 5 minutes before, well, it would have been there anyway.. congrats.

Well done. But no, 159.5 is not 160. If this were true, everything we know about mathematics would fail verrrry hard.
