I assume the time is fairly accurate... at least as
accurate as the Palm's clock. True?
Although I get a popup saying some of the sampling
was low... would that affect the clock accuracy?
The speed ranges do not seem right...
I know my top speed at the end of the longest straight is
around 130 (I see it just reaching 130 on my car's speedo
when I have to get focused on the imminent braking points).
Looking at the Geez speedo on my adjusted runs, I see
roughly 130 at that same point... consistent... great!
But my lowest Geez speeds are about 60mph... that seems too
high... though I never look at my car speedo mid-corner.
But I'd be amazed if I was doing 60 around some of those
corners.
Looking at the Geez speedo, the average would seem to be
in the 80's or higher. Several straights start about 80
and go up to about 120... just a few corners are down
around 60. (Is there a way to have Geez compute the
average speed and computed distance traveled?)
However, the track is measured at 1.7 miles... and my
typical lap times are about 98 secs (according to Geez
recordings)... which gives an average speed of 62mph.
Obviously, something's not adding up right!
Given the Geez times are accurate and the track distance
is accurate, and I know the top speed at the end of 3 of
the straights is 115-130... it would seem I'd have to be
doing 45 or so in the slow corners to get to an average
of around 65. But Geez doesn't seem to be computing anywhere
near that large a range of speeds.
Thoughts?
