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. Allen

>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)

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). -- This message was composed with 100% recycled bits
