I strapped a QStarz timer on Pete's bike last TTD (thanks Pete!) and compared one of his laps to one of mine. Obviously, Pete can only go so fast because of traffic. Here is a video of the playback in the QRacing software. I'm the orange dude and Pete is the green. This is what four seconds a lap looks like:
YouTube- 4 seconds at Loudon (NHMS)
It's really cool to watch braking points, top speeds, and obviously the time between each split. From the start/finish to split 1 (right after turn 2) Pete already has 2.4 seconds on me. He picks up another 1.8 between the exit of 2 and the bowl, and 1.5 seconds through the bowl. I gain some ground on the backside of the track, due to Pete running into traffic.
The graph on the bottom is speed vs. time, and the yellow dots are the splits.
I have to spend some time with this info to see what I need to be doing to get to 1:24s. Maybe someday...
