1/6th mile lap times?? Where to find pls

[ray schrauwen]

I was out testing today and I'm curious to find out where I could find out lap times for 1/6th mile course?

Mainly, Q-Mono for now but, if there is a central place with records or times I'd appreciate some direction finding this info so I know if I'm in the ballpark so to say.

Near as I can tell the record is around 12.5 sec. a lap for Q mono http://www.namba.com/content/records.asp?EventType=9

I was reading that but, that's for records and not with other boats in the water correct? I'm interested in maybe the times from maybe last year in Michigan for Q mono averaged over 6 laps plus mill unless that's what you pointed to? Fred or Terry might have the results, I'll search a bit to see if there are times in last years thread.

No Q mono only offshore...

Ray if you look at the top of that page and click on records, you'll see all records.

I think I see now... Thanks.

if you're doin 12.5 seconds in anything other than a rigger you're flying, the fastest time at the Mi cup last year in any class were mine and Mike balls Q-sport runs at 1 minute 17 which is an average of 12.83 seconds per lap. Anyone can say theyre runnin 10-11 seconds but in a heat race it's completely different!!! I just went out and ran 6 laps in my new P-hydro in 1:05 on an open empty course, but there is no way that will happen in race. I expect between 1;15-1;20

What you have to consider no matter how fast your boat runs your last 3 laps will be much slower than your first 3 due to rougher water, traffic and dead boats.

That's what I'm talking about Mike, real times.

Actually it's a tick closer to 12.3 seconds a lap and that was a heat race set-up. Too bad that mono is not heading to MI.......

[madmikepags]

That is flying Tyler, especially for a mono!!! I've had riggers that I've timed at under 10 seconds a lap on an open course but my best time ever in a race has been 1:04 in Mi and even that wasn't official either because there were only 2 boats in the heat.
