N2K3 Glen countdown markers

Just a small question, almost insignificant, but it just caught my attention yesterday and I've not been able to sleep since. :) Those countdown markers to the bustop section at the Glen, are they supposed to represent 100 yard intervals? I certainly hope not coz, in that case, they're way off. When I was doing the pace lap at 35mph prior to a start and I went from the 600 marker to the 100 marker in less than 15 seconds. 500 yards in under 15 seconds at 35mph!! I don't think so. :) -- Peter Ives (AKA Pete Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying via email If you know what's good for you, don't listen to me :) GPLRank Joystick -50.63 Wheel -21.77

I think its feet, hence the reason they start at 600 instead of something sane like 200. "Peter Ives" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:XBj+4QAjWUO$[email hidden]...

YUP did the math. You should only cover 256.something yards in 15 seconds at 35 mph Peter Ives wrote:
