2014 Times/Records

Post by melburgorbust »

Hi guys,

I know they still need to be checked over so I am jumping ahead a little, but thought I would mention a few errors I spotted with the results that are now showing at http://www.dlra.org.au/2014.htm

91242 - Skyteam Thursday speed - We did not run our Skyteam on Thursday but we did run our Yamaha 1242, however the speed listed for Thursday (86.151) is above what I believe either bike achieved during the week. I believe that the announcer over the CB credited our time to the postie bike following us (the 54.023 that is shown next to 1173 on Friday seems much more likely to be our actual Yamaha 1242 time)

GPS Track - the 38.9 on the Monday shown against our Yamaha (1242) should actually be against our Skyteam (91242) as we did 2 runs on this bike on the Monday and it was the only bike we ran on this day. The 16.3 and 36 shown on the Tuesday against our Skyteam (91242) should actually be against our Yamaha (1242) as it was the only bike we ran that day and was running on 1 cylinder :P

Not wanting to be a pain, just thought I would point these out to help with the rechecking of the times.

You're right with the confused announcement regarding your bike and the postie following. I've got the following:

veh 1242 drv 1242 cls mg100 = 54.023mph

We'll take the 111.476 over the 54.023! #1173 only did one run on Thursday, interestingly the datalog shows ~111 MPH from just after getting the twist at the 2 mile right through to the 4 mile. Note that laptop is showing WA time (-2.5 hours).

impressive boost #s
As an old ozzi post mechanic ,I can just hear the management saying , DONT TELL THE POSTIES ONE OF OUR OLD BIKES DID 111 MPH ------- we all know
they try to do that every day !!!! , I followed a postie the other day he was doing 80k laying flat on the bike ------- and I thought he wouldn't believe what you are doing , still getting my head around "compound" charging
you explainded to me you had beefed up the clutch , does the rest of the drive chain cope ???
you do nice work ---- in every respect
I know there are many who salute you !!!

Only a very minor point but I think most people would describe the colour of my bike as yellow, not white.

Just saw on facebook that the official results are now up. Unfortunately ours are still wrong.

On the main track the two bikes with rider 1242 are backwards (the 39.528 is the Skyteam's 50cc record, and the colour description for the Skyteam is wrong (was green/silver in this year's handbook/on the entry paperwork). I would be very surprised if we hit the speed shown on Thursday, but I did not hear the announcement or see the timesheet, I believe 54mph as mentioned earlier is more likely.

GPS track times are still incorrect as per my first post in this thread.

I'm very pleased to have broken the M/VG 650 record on Tuesday with 106.755 mph but thought the 110.667 mph the following day would have become the new record??
