mathematical overdose yesterday... called a retired machinist /'66 mustang drag racer... he plugged my average time [1.800] and distance [198"...5.5 yds] into the boxes on his racing page... called me back... 6.25 mph x 64 = 400 mph....

at 1.750 sec. = 411.3 mph... _ _ _ at 1.70 sec. = 423.5 mph...
...
darn TE never went that slow ! ...slowpoke - 1.779 sec... his fastest was 1.756 sec.
stroller's #20's slowest was 1.800 sec..... his fastest was 1.759 sec....
his #19's slowest was 1.792 sec... his fastest was 1.756 sec...lots of cyfrin... and lots of fun...

no need to send postage...host a race instead...
Awesome! Thanks to all the hosts and I'll get my return shipping out.
Also, I got my track! I'll be looking forward to hosting a race very soon. Got some stuff to figure out and I'll probably have Jim, aka JDC442, lend a hand. Might be a good opportunity to try and get him onto his workbench too.
