Final Data Done!
Thanks to the help of our friends at TraqMate, I was able to get the start/finish line on the TraqMate data to roughly correlate with the start/finish line at MSR Houston. The times from the AMB transponder system at the track and the data we have from the TraqMate unit are now about as close to synched as I can get them; most of the times are within 1/10 of a second difference, but there is the occasional outlier. We’ve seen that the TraqMate recorder can go funky every once in awhile (by way of example, look at the entry times for an oddball skip every now and then). That said, the unit provides some fascinating data that we wouldn’t have otherwise, and I just can’t say enough about the support they’ve given us. Any time I had a question that I emailed to TraqMate support, they answered it by the next morning and their advice was always spot on the first time. This is a pretty complicated piece of kit and they’ve done a great job putting it together and supporting it.
So, where’s the data? Click this link and you’ll get the file in .xls format. I tried posting it to the Google Docs, but for some reason all of the lap time data was automatically rounding to the next full second, which is pretty useless for racing. The .xls was bad enough because the data only went to the nearest 1/10 instead of the ten-thousandth, which it shows in the native TraqMate data. I could probably figure that out too with TraqMate support, but I’m not going to sweat that for this race. It is LeMons after all. Show some respect!
So refill your coffee and pour over the data. Enjoy!
Cool, just dl’d it. Some great info, not just lap times but also the Max HP, Max Speed, etc. Between this and watching the video I know I can do so much better. Next time…. Take care of that car: if I can’t go in October, I really want to make it happen again next Feb.!
