Dyno Testing
Dyno Testing
We had a productive session at DTR Racing on their inertial dyno, Our mission was to dial in the optimized ignition curve for 100% methanol. We've successfully run a blend of methanol and nitromethane previously and plan to dyno that soon. Here's a pull during this methanol session where we reached 15,000rpn and 90mph. A big thanks to the technical wizards at Lectron for their fabulously easy to tune carburetor and at Mototassinari for their VForce3 reed valve genius!

Kinetic energy loss when coasting over a level measurement zone is affected by aerodynamics. July 2023 testing shows a clear signal: 50% more kinetic energy lost, coasting 87m, with the driver in an upright position vs a tucked position.
The test gives quantitative results related to aerodynamic performance...without a wind tunnel! It is valuable in evaluation and refinement of aerodynamic improvements.
