NickHolt Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just as an FYI to folks on this forum, check out the Life & Arts section piece by Pamela LeBlanc in today's Statesman. She got it, and she explains it very well. And, no, I had nothing to do with this story - it was all Tavo and the Full Throttle folks... Great story. I agree that race car drivers are indeed athletes. But in the story they say that Tavo's NASCAR Grand National West Series car generates 4Gs every lap. I can't help but wonder where the 4G figure came from. If I could get a car to generate 4.0G in lateral acceleration in a turn at THR.... well, you'd never have to get off the gas even if you were driving a 3500 pound stock car. Maybe if you added up the four 1.0 Gs generated in each of the four turns you'd get 4 Gs. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
