5.12 etown autox

yet another battle in STU for me this weekend.. this time for top pax with perry (autox4u.com webmaster/hotshoe/car whore), codriving my sti. i look forward to our pax battles every weekend, and this one didn't disappoint. usually adil and his evo are in the mix but no adil = sti showdown.

check it out.. warminster inspired him to design a pretty fast course..



i think the data aq has helped me get faster. i know i needed to use more of the car's grip in the slower speed transitions and i've applied it today. i 'would' have won by 3 tenths had i not coned it away...

Here's our fast run data. I was faster by 3 tenths in this overlay. click the pic for a full size image.



'qview' is what maxQ calls this type of data display.

• the width of the rectangles denote the amount of lat g pulled
  
• height of rectangles, longitudinal g.
  
• green denotes where i was faster compared to perry, yellow slower.
  
• now the extremely useful data is the blue and red shading. blue is accel, red decel. take a look where our brake and accel point are to see why i might've been faster in one section, or slower. white indicates neither accel nor decel. pretty friggin cool!

it's pretty clear to see what worked where. if it's not clear, let me know and i'll talk you through it. (if you don't understand it perry, i might not explain it to you!)

some data you can't see on the graph

average mph: dan 42.6mph, perry 42.2mph

peak lat g*: dan 1.07g, perry 1.01g

*'street' tires!

perry is badass.. he hopped in my car having never driven the setup, and was immediately super quick. sick!

looking forward to the next nnjr event..
