Does anyone know the formula to obtain speed in MPH? I know you need to know
the lap time and the track size...I just need the formula. Thanks in advance.

What are they teaching in school these days???

Umm...  Ok.  Lap times are in seconds.  Divide by 60 to get minutes, divide by
60 again to get hours.  Divide track length by this value.

L = lap time
T = track length

MPH = T / ((L / 60) / 60)

| Track Length  |
| --------    |  X  3600 = Lap Speed

Distance = Speed * Time

If you know any two, just solve for the third.

 What formula?? I don't know what you mean. The only thing I can think of is
that speed is measured in Miles p Hour.  So if you use Distance (Miles) / Time
(Hours)  you get the speed (MPH).

>3600 / lap time in seconds  X  lap length in miles = speed in MPH
>3600 / speed in MPH  X  lap length in miles = lap time in seconds
