Art-
We were trying to dial-in on our 'target time'. We were ahead of pace by 30+ seconds at one point, so we slowed down. Then we were behind so I had to push it a bit!
glad you enjoyed the video. It was fun running it, that's for sure.
My navigator - my brother - was mostly telling me what speeds to take the turns. We wrote down target speeds from watching our previous year's video right before. Excited to have better data for next year!
OK, got it. Thanks. That adds another dimension to the run, so you have to drive very deliberately, which shows in the video. Smart. Like "match racing" at the dragstrip (which at our strip means you declare your 1/4mi time before the run, and you have to beat your opponent without dipping below your declared time. The Christmas tree lights launch you sequentially such that each competitor would theoretically arrive at the finish line according to their declared times). Does it mean next year you'll use a 'target time' that's 30sec less than this year, depending on conditions? Best of luck!
