Grip factor: information research
 

I need your help in order to understand the GRIP data giving on occasion. (NHRATV)
(ex: 3230 newton N)
How to collect those data?
How to calculate?
How to interpret those data?
Is there a specific scale of measure?
What could be the best number (ballpark) on a data scale?
I'm just trying to upgrade my knowledge here...
Thanks,
Charles Stewart

Charles,

Interested myself as well.

I have assumed it is just a reading off of some brand of "grip meter" that the track specialists use.

Assuming higher is better I hope to get a feel for what is a slippery track and a sticky track.

Any better information would be appreciated.

Bill

FYI: 4.448 N = 1 lb.

3230 N = 726 lb.

Tucson checks with grip meter at starting, 1/8, 1000ft. Usually top end maybe a round 250 on scale. Starting line most events around 410 to 450 on meter
