Here's the video of the new cabrio's best pass at Euro Finals, on what was a very tricky track, with cars and bikes from all classes struggling to get down.  
The 1/8th mile was 5.88 @ 117 mph, which is 1/2 tenth quicker than the old cars best at the 1/8th on it's 9.23 pass, so who know what it would have done on a full pass, rather than shutting off at about 1000 - 1100ft.
From the incar video you can clearly see how far before the finish Richie shut off.

Here's the incar from the pass, as you can see it's no longer under power and is in Neutral before the finish line.

Here's what it looks like from the back of the car with camera attached to the wheelie bar    Grin
This was on a different pass.

Great footage!
What was the reason for lifting Jo? He was so close to doing a full pass! (though probably not at very high boost  Grin)

Regarding your fast cabrio disappearing down the track it's one thing to see at least once in life.
I hope to be on the track during the next DDD.

To be honest, Richie doesn't know why he lifted,
