1. Art. Thanks a million! Watching the cars go down the track was very cool. :yahoo:

   An interesting observation. It’s much easier to hear if a car runs out of gear on the long straight when there’s only one car on the track. Emilio’s mechanic has a job ahead of him. This was a great test for the cars!

2. I thought what a great format and well designed test, so I took all of this wonderful data and put it into a spreadsheet (hopefully I got it correct) but I haven’t been able to draw it in so just a couple of interesting notes.
   1. Average fastest lap time improvement from 9.5-10.5 volts: -0.456 sec.
   2. Average lap improvement from 9.5-10.5 volts: 0.588 laps
   3. Average fastest lap time improvement from 10.5-11.5 volts: -0.270 sec
   4. Average lap improvement from 10.5-11.5 volts: 0.490 laps

   Individual values varied but it looks like each volt added about 1/2 a lap to the cars. The biggest fastest lap time improvement was going from 9.5 to 10.5 volts. A lesser improvement was seen when going from 10.5 to 11.5 volts. However going to 11.5 volts did still see a good average lap improvement so although the fastest laps were not as improved perhaps the motors ran more consistently at the higher voltage?? Perhaps I’ll run some stats on that and see?? :wacko:
   Thanks for a great Proxy and report Art!! :rose:

3. Impressive work Arturo, I could never imaging you will be delivering such a detailed report and on top of it we get to see the videos, outstanding

4. What a great proxy!! :yahoo: Videos, pictures, race report and tuning tips :good: . Thanks Art! Congratulations to everyone who participated. Excellent job on the Ford Dave. Great result!! B-)

5. Great event Art, thank you for running it. Suprised my car kept pace with your Porsche 550 and the video angles were superb. Ken, the Tudor did seem to enjoy the higher voltage. :yes:

6. Art. We can’t thank you enough for putting this together. At first I wasn’t sure I would watch every second. But like a good home movie. The family members can’t take their eyes off the screen. I watched both sessions to the last second. :yahoo:

   It’s interesting to see your car in someone else’s hands… that’s a better driver than yourself. :yes:

   Congrats to the podium cars! 🙂

   Art. Your 550 runs like lightning! :good:

   Dave. What brand of Super-Charger are you using? A Ferrari and Porsche on both sides. Wow!

   MiA. Your porsche absolutely sparkles as it races. :yes:

7. Art. Thank you again for your fantastic efforts! :yahoo:

   MiA. Both cars must be very close to switch places. I expected the lap times between slowest and fastest to simply spread out.

   Dave’s Tudor is a rocket! :good:

8. Great!! :good: More really close racing with a couple of changes in place at the higher voltage. :rose: Looking forward to round 3!!

9. Great job Art!! B-) I was wondering how you were going to do it. :scratch: A lot of work for you, but almost as good as being there for us. Easily the highlight of my year so far!! Thanks for doing this. :yahoo: Really close racing as well from the looks of it, except for that little Porsche!! Be interesting to see how they all behave when the voltage goes up.

10. Art. Thanks a million for posting!
    Very cool that you have a camera ready for when full racing starts up again. :good:

11. Great watching Stage 1 Art, lots of fun. Thanks Dave
