 I've found is that whatever my speed at the top of the esses,
 going onto the back straight, is, I won't pick up but more than
 a few MPH before braking for the bus stop. Once you top out of

Not so for Turbo cars.  Turbos love hills or any type of
load for that matter.

 125mph at the top of the esses is pretty reasonable actually

The highest I hit was about 138 and that was at the middle
of the back straight!  I could have gone faster but was
unsure of my brakes still so I would let off.  I was also
hitting 130mph on the front straight.
