As you can see from the datashot attached (the blue line).. is is possible for the car to come out of the sweeper faster and then accelerate up to Penrite. The blue line on the graph that measures speed for the 2nd part of the sweeper (see track pic) is from March 2005. It shows both an increase in actual speed and and increase in acceleration out of the sweeper. The others are all from last our last sprint (at least the saturday practice). The problem is that if I don't go through the first part of the sweeper fast enough then the car is not far enough along its (VERY) narrow powerband to provide any acceleration - even though its pretty much on wide open throttle. This is what you are seeing on the video. I was not going as fast, as I had just made a lot of changes to the car and I didn't want to break the thing before the sprint on Sunday.
