i wonder if there is a calculator on google to work out what g-force rob would be undergoing? 1 would think about 4gs?
there is a simple formula but i cant recall my high school days in physics
i remember yrs ago hearing about an old man who always wanted to run a drag car, his wish was granted and it killed him as both of his eye sockets collapsed into his head
Its an average of 2.75gs when you 60ft in 1.19 seconds (0-116kph in 1.19). we have done a best of 1.14 now which is 0-75mph in 1.14sec or average of 3g.
V=137.5
_______ = 116kph
1.19
V=137.5
_______ kph
t
a=38.2
______ ms-2
t2
a= 3.9
_____ g
t2
Pulling 2 x 220mph chutes at 160mph felt FAR more agressive than the launch, more like 4-5g neg I'd say, I have since made it so I can pull just the one chute with the other as a backup as its common for the top guys, especially when they get older, to have their retena's rip off their eye's under braking.
A TV crew last weekend had one on the car on a 8.0 run which had a crap launch due to the trans problems.
I "had" a race car camera in/on the 240z but after one run it came off and we never found it.
