[Mod request] Runway speed recorder

[Fireheart318]

I've been working on the runway speed record but can't figure out my speed when I exit the runway. I propose an addon to the f3 screen that displays the highest speed you hit while part of your craft is on the runway

A stock method not requiring any mods:

1. Put an orange tank (or a Kickback SRB if you feel you might miss it) on wheels with a probe core, drive it to the very end of the runway, park it across and set brakes.
2. Go back to the SPH, load your record runner, launch.
3. Throttle to max, keep the runner on the runway, and make no attempt at lift off.
4. Enjoy the explosions.
5. Check F3 for the exact speed at the end of the runway.
6. Rinse and repeat to improve on record.

But I want to count the nanosecond the rear hatch is on the runway. Hatches are the only system I could get to stay in one piece and not fling me off the runway
