TRUstart tried at LVMS

Ed Wright · 02-22-2016, 03:52 PM

If they both go .001 red, the first red would lose. Right?

I believe that's what we have at present.........?

Too simple that way, it would need to be carried out a little more.....

I believe the timing systems can discriminate several more decimal point
well past what is printed on the slips.

I have been in a Dead Heat at a National Race before on the slip and the
system still picks a winner.

I don't know how true it is but I have heard more than once,that if timing system comes down to true dead heat that left lane will get it????

The Compulink Timing System is accurate to 10 decimal places.

At 125 MPH (183.3 ft/sec) it can determine a winner within 0.000002197 inches.

In the case of a "tie", which according to Compulink has only happened 3 times in 30 years, both cars advance to the next round.

That may be true in a bracket race but what would they do in a eliminator that is run on a ladder? You cant have both move on.

I saw a video a little while ago where someone tested the Compulink system. The video is extremely boring, but if you hang in for ~2 minutes, you can see the results. From what it looks like to me, the system is only accurate to ~0.001 seconds. This video was made in 2011, so maybe things have changed? Maybe this test should be done again?

In the video, the left lane always wins in a tie.

"In the video, the left lane always wins in a tie."

Is that the one mentioned earlier that had happened just three times in thirty years?

If so, I don't think I'll live long enough to see it happen again...

Not to worry...

According to the video, a tie occurs when the margin of victory is less than 0.001 seconds. I think this happens a lot. I've had margin of victory less than this before.

The video is saying that when the margin of victory is less than 0.001 seconds, Compulink chooses the left lane.
