Looking for a long hill

[Raptor]

Just like the topic says. I am looking for a very long hill with a pretty steep grade without large wind issues like the hill going into D town by Lake Superior. The longer and steeper, the better.

there are lots of mountains here in the AZ, just swing on by and we'll find something :)

I was thinking a bit more local, although a warmer climate does sound tempting.

Trying to get that blue 1g to bust a 13 sec run down the hill?!?!?!? :p

Skateboarding at 90 MPH is fun, or I could be doing some research. Not sure there is a hill long enough to acomplish a 13 with the blue sponge in it's current state.

How long and how local? Coming from WI to MN it pritty long and steep.

I thought about that one, I would also like one that is less patrolled. I have till spring to find the appropriate hill.

In order of importance, the most significant things I am looking for are 1. Low wind issues. 2. Long length 3. Steep grade 4. smooth pavement 5. light traffic 6. light popo count

Lets see how smart you folks are.

Given what I am after, what am I doing with the hill in question?

are you going to quantitatively test some aero mods and see which one rolls farther?

Giving Josh a car with no brakes?

You are on the right track sir. Not a test of how far it rolls. Starting from specific speeds with consistant operating temps including wheel bearing, brakes etc, you track time required to go from speed A to speed be. If the weight is consistant between tests including fuel levels etc, the results are extremely accurate for testing specific Aero mods.
