Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
The "V" turns drove WAAAAY faster that Tom's pin turn in February. For that course, I ran straight at the first two because I wanted to make the turn before it (Downhill fast right) as fast as possible.

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
Despite driving a quick accelerating, high grip vehicle I entered wide and late apexed on the 3 cones. Just seemed fast to me (2nd fastest behind Keisel). Probably should have tried run 2 as a tight "V". Of course walking the course first might have helped the decision on how to do it, too.
Since light is faster than sound...many people look bright until they speak...

EM Bugeye in car video from 3/1 El Toro
Here is my 74.4 sec run in the Green Bugeye Turbo Sprite. I was running it on med boost (about 365 to the wheels )... Sorry for the long length forgot to shut of cam (and I don't know how to edit it)....
FYI, this is the first event with a whole new rear end (completely new housing and everything) different camber and toe. I have not driven the car for a few months. I do like the new rear end for sure, I can't wait to work on the front end a little more....

Very very cool Jeff! The car sounds great!!!
On a side note, I didn't get to run that weekend but getting a chance to get a look at it, damn that course is huge!

It was much longer in most of our cars.
Wow ... it's amazing how short the distance is between elements in Jeff's rocket!

Wish I could get thru that 1/2 box offset and not twitch the wheel.
Nice run.

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
Chasecam's Dashware came out today, SO MUCH BETTER than Trackvision.
Just threw this together:

Aaron-
Dashware looks really cool. You have MaxQ right? I have a DL1. I'm assuming that will work with this as well?

We need to change the way we log brake input to pedal pressure or travel instead of on/off

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to monitor actual line pressure? We used to have brake pressure gauges on the drag cars.

Speaking of drag cars, I installed a line locker for the pro.

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
it's really quite boring. now if you hook up two sensors and actually measure brake bias there is some interesting info to look at but still not much you can do with it.Bob Beamesderfer wrote:That would be great data to have.Steve Ekstrand wrote:Wouldn't it be cool to be able to monitor actual line pressure?

with only one sensor you'll see that brake pressure is almost linearly related to deceleration rate unless you're hitting the gas and brake at the same time.
Toby,
I'll bring my brake pressure sensor to the next event if aaron reminds me.

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
Yeah... I could just remap the Deceleration G's to the brake bar and you almost couldn't tell the diffrence.Marshall Grice wrote:it's really quite boring. now if you hook up two sensors and actually measure brake bias there is some interesting info to look at but still not much you can do with it.Bob Beamesderfer wrote:That would be great data to have.Steve Ekstrand wrote:Wouldn't it be cool to be able to monitor actual line pressure?

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
So braking Gs are good enough? Good to know.
Cool vid, btw.

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
Or if you're on an extremely low grip surface, in which case brake pressure would become very interesting to measure.Will Kalman wrote:Unless you want to detect lockup or braking issues by measuring the change in decel/brake pressure ratio.Bob Beamesderfer wrote:So braking Gs are good enough?

Yeah but some idiots hit the brake and the gas at the same time... All the time...

Re: 3/1/09 PSCC Championship
sure brake fade is something to look at...but again do you need an expensive sensor to tell you your brakes are fading? it's pretty obvious when it happens. Toby's car has abs so it really wouldn't tell you if you're locking up but rather just when the abs turns on. individual wheel speed sensors are far more effective in determining lockup anyhow.Will Kalman wrote:Unless you want to detect lockup or braking issues by measuring the change in decel/brake pressure ratio.Bob Beamesderfer wrote:So braking Gs are good enough?

Most of my brake failures are indicated by a high number written on a yellow post-it.
