Practice Tree

[Al Betz]

I posted this last year but we all need the help so here it is again.

Numbers to consider.

Roll out time is the time it takes your car to move out of the stage lights (too soon and you redlight)

If your 60' time is 1.6 car roll out is about 0.23 seconds
60' = 1.8 roll out is .26
60' = 2.0 roll out is .30

Delay (car response time) is the time it takes for your car to actually move in response to the throttle or clutch.
Leaving off idle the response time of my car (the time it takes for the pedal to hit the floor and the car to begin to move) is .35 seconds. You can guess at your car's response time. Clutchs work faster than automatics and if you have a high stall speed converter and/or preload the torque converter at the starting line your car will response more quickly.

Plug in the numbers and hone your skills.


Good luck.

Appreciate that Al. I'll toy around with it.
You guys gave me the bug when I was there last Saturday!
I hope to run a few times this summer and then put on a serious effort all next season in the Corvette Challenge!

Al that is an excellent practice tree. Unfortunately my current laptop prevents me from running it and I cannot change my Activex setting cause my company locked me out for some reason?

I used it a lot with my last laptop.

I found a practice tree that I can load on my computer and use but it is not as good as that one but I will use it.
