At the Chris Thater race, I saw many 5 x 82's and 5 x 84's, but only
a few 100 - 84-100-100.   No 4 x 100 that I remember; certainly
nothing over 100.

Anything over 100 just sounds TOO big, but how much IS too big?  Does
it depend on the distance, or what?  There must be a point of
diminishing return.

What's the current theory?
