Currently, the course distance published on the FastGlass website is 93nm. Since Mr. Olsen has done all the intricate calculations for us in order to get the most accurate course distance, I will change the published Suffolk 100 distance to 92.5 nm.
Okay Feathers, you can now put down your calculator & pencil AND start waxing your Lancair, maybe this will add the one knot you 'lost' from the calcs you did for us...<G>

The exact distance of the Suffolk 100 is 87.5 nm. If we add about 5 nm
to that we get 92 nm. We have listed on the Suffolk 100 web page that
the course is 93 nm. The calculated speed differential caused by this
one mile distance would be 92/93*200 = 2.2 kts. In other words, we
would be showing higher speeds of about 2.2 kts when compared to the
Sun 100 race.
I hate to recommend it but i think that we should set the Suffolk 100
course distance at 92 nm. With this setting our speeds will compare
directly with the Sun 100 speeds.
