Wind Assistance/hinderence On The 1/4

[l_uk3y]

Hey guys. After my last trip to Heathcote and a new PB,

13.8 at 103mph on MT streets and 14.1 at 103mph on stockys.

Anyways. i am not too unhappy with the times although i hoped for a bit more. Hence this question.

On the day there was a very strong head wind. On the 13.8 the wind speed was slightly over 21km/h according to the timeslip.

Odviously this is going to have some effect to the time (especially when looking at the effect wind has on say a golf ball).

Surely someone who has spent a fair bit of time on the 1/4 might have a bit of insite on how much difference the wind generally makes. whether 20+ winds are measurable in tenths or not and if so by roughly how much.

Cheers. Luke

Good find. Bit technical for my head on a Sunday arvo. But interesting how they even offer equations to work out the diff. I'll have to have another look when im thinking better.
