Dave it works well if its connected.

They still let him do 4 runs knowing that 3 of them wern't getting a signal.
I think his anti-lag upset them a little


Then they guessed his time I think - which then puts the trax equipment back in the lead.

TBH It didn't have many flaws all day and works very well.

See dave aint worth copying my technique pmsl

Actually thought the queing system was really good tbh, at least you could switch the car off stopping it getting hot and constantly moving forwards one car lenght at a time not doing the clutch any favours either, just wait till your ques turn then go and running in under 5 mins

Mark had issues with the timing gear not completing his runs.

I'll put the dirt down before it gets out of hand.

I had to rush off to sign on passengers as they were giving everyone grief.

This was after dinner

SIGNING ON WAS AT 7.00 LOL

i did 4 runs

the first two did not register for some reason

the third was a 4.4 from a 6k launch

the 4th was a 4.7 from a 7k launch but it spun all 4 wheels for too long so i think 6k is the best to launc them at

Was a really good day at Trax,really busy and really hot.



Dave.
REALITY CHECK BELOW ( See another Topic)
Sorry to those who have good times, but the Trax 0-60 times CANNOT be taken seriously or quoted in relation to anything other than other Trax times... And even then it's a lottery!

When I was watching they were lining the cars up WAY behind the startline.

Here are some stats:
When Martin H did his 0-60 of 2.8 he was doing 9mph within 2.57feet. That took him 0.437sec.

So... if Martin had done that at Trax and been lined up two any a half feet behind the line, he'd have a time of 2.4!!!

I'd say two and a half feet was the average 'head start', some were well over a meter...

Don't get me wrong, I like the 0-60 feature, but please don't use the figures to compare against 'proper' measured times such as Datron or official factory figures...

I wish they'd stage the cars better in order to give the times a little more credibility.
