I was just browsing through the results from VIR and noticed that the acceleration times were extremely low. There is about a second difference between VIR's results and East/West's. I am assuming it's because it was downhill?

The distance for the accel event was set short. I think it was about 50 meters and slightly uphill.

Yeah, i believe that is right. All i know is i'd be pissed if i was there competing knowing the design of the car is for a 75m accel run.
That is more or less a surprise rule change; not cool. If that is the plan for next year, it should be in writing in the rule book. 'engine and turbo guy' Cornell 02-03 |

When we lined up to run, I asked the guy running the accel about the length, saying that it looked short. He assured me that he measured it out.....What are you gonna do? Everyone had to run it. There were obviously a lot of hickups for the VIR event but SAE did a great job rolling with it and making it the best it could be.
I don't think the fact that it was short hurt us at all, probably played to our advantage. Still, we hit 61mph in 2.9ish seconds//// ---- Mike Cook It's an engineering competition, not an over-engineering competition! |

Yeah since you guys won accel in at both West and VIR i don't think it makes a big difference. I know i would have been bitching about it though if i was at VIR Kinda off subject but the rumor mill tells me you guys didn't run traction control ethier. |
