For me the videos are a great tuning tool also. Like in my street stock car. I had one run that was way off pace. Run #3 I watch the video and sure thing a couple good wobbles.#1-2.979 #2-2.981, #3-2.998, #4-2.978. Another thing I learned from them is the effect that the car next to you can have on your car. On the #3 run the car next to me wobbled really good, possibly cause the wobble in my own. I tune my cars to its limits, I think I need to consider maybe not so aggressive just to insure straight wobble free runs.

The luck of the draw always affects you. Did you notice who you ran your best time with? I noticed who I ran my best time with. /images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif

even when you are trying to get the tracks set-up the same, it is hard to get identical tracks to run exactly the same. to many variables, do you know what the angle of the slope was? for that time i would guess it was over 28degrees.
I know this much after watching the unlimited race, I don't ever want to run against opa with a bearing car ever again.
He ought to call those cars the road warriors. The two runs I made not against opa was 2.892 and 2.893. The two runs I made against opa was 2.902 and 2.907 and on the last run against his red car, mine wobbled all over the place. I'm not saying anything bad I'm just saying my car evidently didn't like to run with his car. For next race I'm going to add a water cannon to the top of mine and if I race against him I'm going to blast him with it.
I belive it will be right here. John will put the link at the top of the forum page. I could be wrong though.

Definitely not. I assisted a neighbor boy here locally (Colorado) and they ran on a 42' BestTrack. Our car ran 2.885 and won. But on my track with a formula to match DD4H's track, the car would have run 3.015 on his. Also, several other boys ran 2.9's. I looked at their cars closely, and they were only average prepared.
I think the track had a lightly higher beginning (starting end), thus more speed before it hit the flat. Also, who knows if the flat portion was absolutely level.
