I hit 35+ in 1st @ 3s then the graph goes shallower to 3rd @ 55+ .
With a few more runs I'm sure my confidence/technique will improve :roll:

Though it's not wise to get all your thrills on this timescale, especially if you've got a passenger :lol:

Would be good to put it round the track

What did they use to "measure you", lots of talk about graphs and speeds in various gears?

something more accurate than a gtech I bet :lol:

Radar gun behind the car. On the graph, the left scale is speed, bottom scale is time. As you accellerate, the plot is diagonal as you would expect. Every time you change gear, the line goes horizonal briefly (as time is passing with no increase in speed) so you can work out which gear your in.

You'd be surprised. As long as the Gtech is perfectly horizontal and the surface you are driving on is too, then it will be extremely accurate..

Its just a simple matter of measuring G's against time passed, you can't cheat physics.. :lol:

I got an A for Physics, no revision either.
Too many other distractions which seemed more important at the time.
Mind you any old O level is worth 37 GCSEs these days.

kids these days dont know they're born practically give em all the time in the world and then the exam only counts for about 35%to 40% of the mark, they can pass on course work alone .......wish I had those lol BUT on the upside my 8 O'levels stand me in good stead.....I went off the rails when it came to A levels :oops:

1 A level in Art PMSl and equivalent O level pass in printed design and textiles (couldn't be arsed to learn about history of printed textiles :lol:

)

si21 my confession is I worked my butt off for those whilst my mate read thru the night before passed all first time and with 7 A's and 2 B's :shock:
