thanks.
it sure is a damn good tool. amazing how much one can learn from just a couple laps. i wish i had video from the next day when i was trying out some of Randy's moves.

i'll have to take a closer look. i was hitting
130-135mph on the back (braking at 1), 125-130 on the front (braking at 4.5-4), and entering the uphill esses at 115-120mph.

the real payoff is when you have data acq.
and you can get the data from their laps to overlay with your laps...you can see exactly where/what the speed differential is and then discuss with the pro what you need to do differently...
with the influx of lower priced (gps based) data systems, i think we'll start seeing them a lot more in DE's...

data acq has been my biggest frustration. ok, so i tried a different line and it *felt* faster
but was it really? it's hard enough trying to keep track of entry/exit speeds. i'll be looking into the different options during this off-season, even just a cheap video cam.

yep, often what feels faster is actually slower...
or being faster in one section can adversley affect your overall lap time...
...and data doesnt lie...it gives you a real picture of what/where you need to work on to get faster...
