Geral, that's what I'm talking about.
V average = D/T
660ft / 1.64 = 402 ft/s x 3600s (1 hour) / 5280 ft (1 mile) = 274 MPH.
Eddy, here are SS's numbers in the other lane on Sat's 2nd round.
| TFH |
|
7 |
Speed Sport Special |
John Haas |
0.059 |
2.984 |
200.89 |
4.95 |
241.5 |

I have to agree with Eddie, We both ran 2.8'S both in the 207 to 211 range to the 1/8th in Chowchilla, We ran 5.07 with the belt off at 1100 feet, Eddie ran 4.80 out the back. Look at SS 1/8th 2.98 at 4.95 et DONT GET ME WRONG, Roger and the LQ boys did an awsome job. Roger has that thing running like a rocket. Just my thoughts. |

Did anyone get a finish line photo? I know Mark was just short of it.
Here are the numbers from Q2;
| TFH |
|
7 |
Speed Sport Special |
John Haas |
0.059 |
2.984 |
200.89 |
4.95 |
241.5 |
| TFH |
|
131 |
Liquid Quiker |
Ron McLellan |
0.472 |
2.956 |
202.42 |
4.593 |
??? |
SS's M.O.V. is 0.056.
241.5 MPH = 354.2 ft/s
352.4 ft/s x 0.056 = 19.8 ft M.O.V.
Of course if LQ was travelling at the speeds mentioned that, M.O.V. could be as high as 22.5ft |

Hey scott go watch the video on the other site and tell me how you can say that. Also ask Hoss who was down the river the furthest.The white boat never went past the red boat and it is quite evident in the video where the white boat is. John Haas |

Hey John. I hadn't seen the video until now. That's why I asked if anyone had a finish line photo.
The video is taken from past the inramp, probably near the Port Authority building and gives a very deceiving angle. If you freeze frame it, where you can see the finish line buoys, it looks like he had closed the gap a bunch, considering you had a .357 jump on him.
You are correct. You ended up way down course from him. That white boat shuts down incredibly fast, and did it on all his runs. |

Scott you can freeze frame that or do what ever you like. My chute is pulled in the traps and there is know where in that video or two others thatI have watched that the white boat is even close.You guys can do the math all you want but the truth is in that video.The final round just tells the story all the more.With all of that said congrats to the LQ guys for a good win.

I undestand Scott It is not about that and nothing we could prove will change the out come.These pictures you have posted just confirm it all the more.Look at the last photo you can see Im out of the throttle and where is the white boat.You take my rt advantge and do the math the white boat should be long past me.I also dont think IHBA or anyone is trying to pull a fast one what would be there gain but I do beleive there was a malfunction with the timing nothing computes to 4.58 or does anything show that other than the timing board.That boat and that team are capable of those numbers but anyone looking at the facts will see there is somthing not right.

I hear you John. After that run on Sat, I was one of the biggest skeptics, until he virtually duplicated the numbers on Sunday. What are the odds of a random error happening to the same boat, on seperate days, in different lanes, with almost identical numbers.
I will reserve judgement until some more compelling photos come out, if they exist. |

Anybody notice that SS 4.95 minus reaction time advantage of .357 equals LQ 4.593? Coincidence?.... Oops, doing the math it looks like a .413 advantage. wouldn't that mean SS finished first?

Greg With out question we were at the finish line first.The question is all those numbers that close we should have been side by side in the lights. John Haas |

LQ Looking forward to seeing you in San Diego where hopefully the MPH clocks will work and we can see what white lightening is all about . SS and John, according to the photos posted you should of been popping the champagne and eating the boiled peanuts at the end of the day . Once again looking forward to seeing LQ in SD to quite the masses . One footnote watch out for PC . |

Does anyone know if Ron and Bob will race in MF? If so maybe we could have us a little grudge match and just see what they can do. I know that SS has laid down consistant numbers all year and then come to MF and continue laying down those same numbers. And as most of you know MF is a little tougher than some because of the high temp and the high humidity. So if LQ has found the right set up, then they should be able to come to MF and continue laying down the numbers, as the SS crew has done the last 2 years they have been here in MF. Good luck to all and hope to see everyone in a few weeks. |
