  1. This was great! Very good information and analysis Tim! Initial impression is that the only realistic explanation (if it exists) is the video not matching the actual final run. Maybe they forgot to hit the record button? As for the gearing issue, I wonder (haven't ran the numbers yet) how much the rear tire diameter would have to expand (from g-forces) to match the target top speed. Maybe it's possible (for example with top fuel cars, though a significantly different tire, you can see the diameter of the tire changed dramatically during a run). I'd assume there would be a little expansion, though obviously no where near as much as you'd see in top fuel. Bigger diameter would mean your actual speed would be higher than speedometer reads.

  5. Us Americans and our drag racing (13:10)! The time slips are confusing, but ET is "Elapsed Time" and does not include reaction time, it's purely the time from start to stop, when the beam connects at the front of the drag strip. R/T is in addition to ET for the total time (which would be the number you would use if you were competing side-by-side). And in the essence of talking trash on YouTube, I got an 11.2 ET. 😎Well done Tim! Under 11.4 seemed to be pretty solid for the group!
