The PDR stands for performance data recorder. It does not work with the gopro and is a standalone piece behind the rear view mirror. I said the vids pulled from the PDR did not convert properly and lost sound when put through the GoPro software to create one video. The 1/4 miles times per the PDR were slower than the timeslips by about 1 to 2 tenths. It's GPS based I think so I'm not surprised they are off a touch. Going off memory but the runs for the day were: 11.05, 11.16, 11.08, 11.10, 11.20. MPH dropped on the last two runs to around 122/123 likely due to lack of a full cool down. Earlier runs were 124.5, 127.5 and 124.5.
Car had over a 3/4 tank of gas (
) and a couple items in the trunk that could have been shed. Tire pressure wasn't touched since it wasn't spinning. I need to find the trick to launching it harder. I will wait for a track rental in the fall at atco.
