Trap speeds

[Jerry Oleson]

Is ther a way to see the trap speeds into Canada corner? I only see s/f and into 5.

 

[Karl McColl]

Not sure if its true for everyone but my highest speeds were acheived before Canada corner.

 

[Gary Wittman]

Right before braking for Canada has been my highest speed also. I have never seen trap speeds for that area though.

T&S only has loops at T5 and S/F. Take a look at the timecard info page and you'll see a map where the sections are divided.

510's a coupe (Hannagan). At 113.9, that makes him the slowest top speed. How about some help for the 510? :wink:

You have to be careful looking at just the top H Prod trap speeds as they were largely affected by drafting. This is especially true for reletively low hp cars like H Prod. Also, the race speeds are a better indicator since we were not sharing the track with FP like we were in qualifying. In my opinion a lap that varies 3-5 mph from the average was affected by another car and does not give a good indication of a car's capability.

I stand corrected.

Extremely high correlation between lap time and run position to trap speed for Hprod cars at Road America. Part race, part air pushing contest.

Dayle,

Do Not get sucked into that one. Look at trap speeds of the 510 in 2011, 2010

I went back and correlated my 118.1 lap with my in-car video and as suspected it was set with the help of a draft. Without the draft my top speed was 115.5. There are two or three cars in the 121 plus range so we have our work cut out for us.
