Track Record

LOL most people go to a car race to see cars go fast. I doubt the SLM class ever reaches 75 mph with track perfect....lol

Unless this has been broken the Official SLM Track Record: Track Record broken by 16 year old Bret Holmes On May 11, 2013 with a 12.958 . That calculates to almost 92mph average. They have to be topping 100mph.

Thanks DIRTRAYCER. lol Care to share those formulas as to how you came up with that answer?

Congrats. To Tim Roszell on the big W...The CT 525 is really a good choice for TST...

Tim was not running the 525. He was in his on car not the 6.

[oldbuck]

Should have said own car, 25.

[muddy_mike]

LOL I was referring to the CT525 Chevy performance racing engine..lol

[oldbuck]

I was too. He's not running the CT525. He's running an SB2.

MPH Formula

Thanks DIRTRAYCER. lol Care to share those formulas as to how you came up with that answer?

No problem .
Use the formula Speed = Distance divided by Time.
Distance is Track Length, multiplied by Lap Time divided into 1 Hour (3600 seconds.)
For a lap at TST (.333 miles): Speed = .333 x (3600/12.958), = .333 x 277.82065 =*** 92.514276 mph average speed***

Track Size of TST is .333
Lap Time was 12.985
3600 seconds in 1 hour

I am impressed with your formula. However you have made 1 major mistake. How are you measuring TST as a 1/3 MI. track?

[muddy_mike]

I was too. He's not running the CT525. He's running an SB2.

What is the difference? Thankz

[oldbuck]

Around 200 horsepower.

The track last Saturday night was in very good shape allowing for some darn good action, Josh Atkins had a nice lead when some parts broke on his ride and had to go pit side, tough break, car was well prepared. The Limited Late Model feature was a doozy. The track in my view of attending there for now 8 years, 2 years as the announcer, the racing had been very good. The best in Alabama. In my view the 2 raciest tracks down here week in and week out are Magnolia and TST.

We did have 89 cars last week, more will enter the next few weeks. A few years ago on one hooked-up night a fan had a radar gun on Super and scanned the car at 101m.p.h. going into turn 3. TST is indeed very racy no doubt, had practice last Tuesday night and reports were that the track was as smooth as glass and multi-grooved.

There you go AGAIN stretching things all out of shape. Number 1 you have only announced at TST 1 year IF you wont to call that Chicken Clucking you do. I was right to start with TST does NOT see speeds at 100 MPH on weekly basis...HAHAHA

[muddy_mike]

TST don't have much of a P.A. System THANK GOD!
