The race at 5:45. Wow. 3.939 vs 3.940. 1 1/1000 of a second That's roughly 6 inches at that speed!

[@louf7178]

If I did this right: for a 30 frame/sec camera (normal movie rate) (using 320 mph) 15.6 feet per frame would be traveled. 320 mph x 5280 ft/mi ÷ 3600 s/hr ÷ 30 frames/s = 15.6 ft/frame 15.6 ft/fr = 187 in/fr so 30 fr/s x 187 = 5610 fr/s, minimum, needed for 1 inch increments. Suddenly 10,000 frames/sec (1/2") is somewhat course (for 320 mph). (Don't ask me to do this twice 😵)

[@stubones]

Lou Fazio the slower car was not 15.6ft behind the winner so I’m not sure you’re right there. They were literally neck and neck.

Those are some of my best childhood memories getting some fries or a hotdog from the concession stand. I was so comfortable at the track as a kid that I’d fall asleep up in the stands since the races would go past midnight some nights. This was in the 90’s before people wore hearing protection lol so in between my years and years at the track and in garages around loud cars and my love for going to concerts and being right by the speakers plus my years of shooting guns I have a nice case of selective hearing lol.
