Once we get this info we can start bracket racing

Driver weight too, my 400lbs. might take a little bit more to get moving than your 180lbs.

Be smart - windshield off, if you're 400 pds let the wife drive - hopefully she's a bit smaller.

So I guess none of those variables made any difference before I asked for the timing?

My request was for the person that performed the tests to include some time/distance as well as the final speed.

I see the value of the information coming from the same cart as it shows relative performance between motors.

Trying to combine/compare results from different folks is not very useful.

You asked for one or the other and I gave you distance, now you want incremental times at calculated distances.... Are you sure you are not related to Buster Couch (former NHRA Chief Starter)??

In all seriousness, your points are all valid. For us, it was a simple thing, although we made enormous efforts to make each test the same by duplicating every point in regards to set-up, state, and documented criteria. And it was for our information at the time as many of us had several carts and a plethora of various motors. Since I had one apart, and was doing an all-out upgrade, we felt it was the best for a test cart as it had all new components and was Lithium powered.

Wholly Cow this thread exploded why I ran to eat....

Sergio, I will go back and get the rest of the info we documented and repost it in a new thread to be shared with others. When I stated it was "tweaked", I literally meant everything (and several things that others have not even mentioned yet). David did not have a D&D laying around to send me so I may wait and find one and then pick a Spring day and re-run all the motors again. I know the cart is a ~little faster now as I am running a revised "performance" map with the Executioner.

Poor AquaLuke.. I think we all derailed his thread

This is good information and discussion none the less, hopefully he doesn't mind

We just made him a Motor Test Guru!!
