Baller fpjl Posted May 12, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2014 OK so I like a "soft" pull on PP. What speed on ZO corresponds to a 17.11 time through the course? Please don't tell me to learn math. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Dickey Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 ZO has a recreational or practice mode that allows you to adjust the speed plus or minus in 1/10 mph increments. It will show the course time as well but the adjustment is in tenths of mph In the Tournament mode it is locked into set "actual" speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Onside135 Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think 34.2mph is 16.95, so I'd estimate 17.11 seconds to be right around 34.0mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ntx Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 With .5 MPH tolerance a 17.12 was out of tolerance so 17.11 is about 33.711111111 In the old days prior to ZO a 17.11 was as slow as you could go and sill be in tolerance. The driver should have been paid in beer or anything else he may have requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 Timing chart says a 17.16 is acceptable for "34" I believe these were suppose to be times for half a mile an hour. So I would guess slightly lower than 34.0. Totally guessing at 33.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 17.11 is right at 33.87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 Every 1/10th of a mile per hour is worth about .04 seconds in course time. Example is 34.0 is ~ 17.03.....so to get 17.11 on ZO you would have to be in practice mode and dial it down to 33.9 mph or 33.8 mph; but, it will still not feel like PP.

Baller Onside135 Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 @Ral and @Skibug are right...I did the "math" and got basically 33.8 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted May 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2014 From the olde days of Physics, Distance=Rate X Time Or, Rate = Distance/Time For metric measurements, that ends up being D*3.60/T. D in meters, T in seconds. So 259m at 16.95 = 55.0... Kph. To get to MPH, divide by 1.609344 (exact). 17.11 is about 54.5kph or 33.86 mph. Reminds me of the days well before Speed Control and Rules about using up the tolerances. One nice private site in the East would regularly run 1mph tolerances and use as much of the slow side as possible. At the time, that meant running something like 16.5's. Probably also before electronic timing like the Lockett system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted May 13, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted May 13, 2014 33.9 will get you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
