Nationals and Speed Badges

[Resophonic Racing]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Once the Daddio and crew make it to the venue, he will check out the track setup and determine if there needs to be a +/- added to your average times for speed badges.

This will be refered to as the "Rainbow Rule"

Just curious about this statement Reso, but how is this determined? I believe I know that all tracks can be different but where does the +/- come from, the location of the electronic eyes, or something completely different? When I was at MA and watching the pro races, John seen things with the track that quite simply I never even considered, like a dirty track as an example, I heard it when the cars ran but didn't know why. Quite honestly I thought there was something wrong with the car. Mr Chips said he cleaned wheels as best he could to assure a good run of each car. I'm a newbie when it comes to all of this and I'll ask questions as I learn more and more about this hobby. Thanks in advance.

"THE RAINBOW RULE" Now that's just funny!

Glad I could inspire you all

GravityX,

I would imagine that the +/- will be determined by a street stock car that has run on both the NPWDRL home track and the nationals track. The car would have to be a consistent car that does not have much deviation in time from run to run. John has and is capable of building such a car. He has proven he can do it on multiple track. He is fully versed in all aspects of track setup and fine tuning. He knows how the home track is prepped before each race and those same methods will be used for the nationals race. Also Goatboy and Zeeb have been around racing a long time. Between the three of them I'm confident whatever decision is made will be sufficient to use a judgment for the speed badges.

Thanks Reso for answering this, makes good sense. I agree with you in that whatever decision is made on the +/- will be good with everyone.

I tested my car on Zeebs track for the April race. Then sent it to Johns and it was within one thousandth of a second difference, avg. time.That's pretty consistent.

Anybody hear what the +/- was for this race? I read a few comments in the chat room where racers thought the track was a little slow? I didn't have anything to compare it to, it was my first race.

bracket,
the track was a little slow I'm guessing about .007-.01
dd4h is great at figuring this out

Alright boys, I sneaked away from the wedding for 15min and took a guys laptop. From what DEW tells me 1 of my cars ran 2.98. Came in 5th, but I don't care, I love it/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

[Resophonic Racing]

Congrats to all the fast racers this past weekend. I'm going to look over the results and get everyone updated as quickly as possible. I will be out of town until the weekend with work. When I get back I will get it done!

I am going to have to make the call at dropping .01 off everybodys time to get the proper badges.

 

[Crewzin]

So if I see it right and I ran a 2.974 that will be a 2.964 correct... 2.97 badge here I come..

 

[OTO Racing]

2.9985 puts me at 2.9885 ...... JEEZ if I look at it like that I still got .04 to catch 007 !
John,
I know you are busy ! Do we pm you for badges or will you do them on your own ?
Thanks,
Chris

I know what you mean! I'm looking at this car thinking how in the heck am I going to squeeze another .050 out of this little block of wood? It must be in there somewhere!

Do we pm you for badges or will you do them on your own
