[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 911378, member: 65699"] TJR, for the full "smart" sound you shoulda said that acceleration is the first derivative of velocity, or the 2nd anti-integral of displacement. Reading this in text is probably better than a video to imagine it, since I've been watching the winter olympians do their luge at 86-90 mph, and the camera positioning makes it look like they're crawling, while the imagination doesn't have that problem. On that, at least the announcers talk in Miles, though the screen shows kph. I'm tired of multiplying by 0.6 :( I don't deny that driving a fast 1/4 mile ride takes skill, I contend that it is Golf like to watch, but above NASCAR and such as it is over quickly, no hundreds of left turns. Rallying, and even straight drifting competitions, are much more interesting imo. [/QUOTE]
