Default KLEX CRJ TO distance

I can't imagine a fully loaded CRJ could make it off a 3500' runway...or
even intentionally try.
I fly a Hawker 700...full gross is 25,000 lbs...and we would never make
that...or even try it.

JMHO

I keep hearing the media state the CRJ fully loaded needs 5000+ feet for
takeoff. But the devil is always in the details: Does anyone have the
approx expected ground roll TO numbers? The expected roll distance to V1?
And does anyone know if runway 26 has runway remaining signage?
I'm asking because I would have expected rotation by 2500 feet and wheels
off by 3000. Contrast this with the media stating that the NTSB found
scrape marks on the departure end of runway 26 possibly from the CRJ
overrotating.
