Al replied back to my e-mail and informed me it was a theory from another Fox driver from another region.
I was a little caught off guard b/c I took it as it was something I had previously stated.
I don't feel this a disadvantage to the Fox but if the powers at be want to research more I think it would be beneficial to get more data from the other regions who run more 40 minute races than we do. IMO, the only 40 min race in TX (Hallett R4) is not worth looking at b/c James backed off ever so slightly due to his 5 second lead, I kept going as hard as possible, and Dan fell off after I got around him. The fact that my times didn't fall off as much as James and Dan is not shocking at all.
Don't worry, there is a major event coming soon that will have all platforms in attendance that will yeald plenty of great data.
Michael, again, sorry it took a while to respond to you. This set of data didn't come about because of you, but you were the best guy to either prove or disprove a theory. I completely agree that this data set isn't useful beyond the 14 or so laps we typically run in Texas due to there only being one 40 minute run in there and in that run James had a huge lead and Dan was limping. I'm already working on a similar exercise using data from other regions. It is, however, very good data to see what happens during 25 minute sessions if you focus on that part.
