looking for open strech of road

I recently got a G-Tech performance meter for my car & I wanted to check out my 1/4 mile,0-60,60-0 times etc without the hassle of going to Atco,etc.Does anyone know of a place in Lower Bucks Co,PA where I can do this without getting into trouble ? It wasn't till after I got it that I realized I couldn't think of one good place to do this in this over-populated,bumper-to-bumper part of the county.I know,a little shot sighted on my part,right ? If you know of any placer please let me know,thanks.

that is a good place. do you have to do it from a dig? a roll i would do northbound rt1 or 95 (on rt 1, as soon as you are coming up to oxford valley exit get it up to 80-100 and as soon as you pass it, full throttle. ive done that and had plenty of time to hit top speed and brake to a safe speed before the curve at fallsington exit) or (95, havea car go ahead of you looking for the state trooper in the median, when you have the go ahead from your cell phone, launch from 413 going north and nail the straightaway. its 2.2 miles i believe of straight, but figure on 1/2 mile to slow down to a reasonably safe speed.

also consider tyburn rd in falls, hardly any traffic in the evening, you can stop dead on the street, set your g-tec and off you go. i race people there after the curve facing new falls. let me know, i can meet up with you.

Re: looking for open strech of road

Newtown by-pass and Rt 1 sound the best....although Tyburn sounds promising,too.What's most important is I have a CDL & if caught I'll lose my license & probably my job if caught,so police presence is very important.How much does Newtown Twp patrol the by-pass at night

If my job depended on it, I wouldn't take the chance Rick.

I think the trip to the track would be WELL worth it in order to not risk losing your job. We're heading down tomorrow night for the gambler's race. Tuesday nights are test & tune also. It's only an hour drive for you each way...

Ahhh...I hear the voice of reason,& I know you're right.Too bad the runways aren't still around from the old small airports this area used to have.I'm off next week so maybe I'll take a run down there after all.
