Time conversion question

[robo4881]

I just got a 35ft test track and got it set up the other day. I messed around moving some weight around on one of my cars last night. Can anyone give me a rough idea what a .02 gain might convert to on a 42 foot track?

All tracks are different, but this is the way I would calculate it. On the 35ft track you have 3 flat sections on a 42ft track you have 4. So if you add 1 section ,you are adding 1/4 more flat track. 1/4 of your gain is .005 , add that to your gain of .02 and you have a .025 gain on a 42ft track. Make sense?

.02 is a big step. I don't know the conversion but probably a little more than .02 on a 42' track.

about .015 per 01
