SCCA Convention Going Virtual, BoP Data Presentation
This year the SCCA National Convention is going Virtual, one of the session will be a presentation on BoP Data Acquisition and how it is applied; the date and time will be announced soon.
Glen Thielke, Sam Henry and myself will be presenting the why and how; in Glen's last year presentation he used actual data from T3, my part of the presentation will be F/SR data. The data will be made anonymous except where it makes no difference. The example data will be from races the over past 3 years and be a mixture of F/SR and other classes where the information presented is the same for all reports. It would not be a good use of your time to try and figure out what event and which cars these represent.
In the attached screen shots only the first 2 can be identified as from the 2020 Runoffs at RA and only the second screen shot is clearly P2. All the information in the P2 shot can be found for any car in any class on the SCCA web site; it is standard stuff the web site also includes the sector times for every car every lap, both a fastest rolling and theoretical lap can be calculated.
Tracks other than RA have important T5, sectors from T6 to T8 and carousel corners.
Acceleration Data is reported where Lateral G's are insignificant compared to Longitudinal G's. For P1/P2 acceleration data up to approximately 100mph is used before aerodynamic forces start becoming significant; also P1/P2 have no intent to balance performance factors such as aero, brake packages and suspension design or chassis mark.
The CRB and Advisory Committees receive reports in the format below and do not see the raw AiM Solo data.
The collected data usually has between 4 - 6 cars.
This is how cars are listed on the data:
Year/ Mark/ Model/ Engine Displacement/ Min Weight/ Post Race Weight
For Example: 2009 Stohr WF1 1000cc 1025lb/1087lb
The request here is for information to attempt to prepare a presentation that meets the needs of the F/SR community:
What do you want to see?
What do you want explained?
What suggestions do you have?
Below are some examples of possible presentation slides:
