Jack,

You need to specify altitude for your distances.

At my 6500 ft elevation field(10,000 density altitude common in summer) 
they would probably be quite a bit longer.

I take off at some airfields where an aborted takeoff from takeoff speed 
means your in the dirt.  I watch the Lears and Citations take off from GNT 
on a warm day and they rotate a 1000 ft from the end of the runway some 
times.  There is no way they could ever stop and stay on the runway.
