Default Lap Sheets

Going forward from the Solomons race, lap time sheets will be posted on the OPA website.


Where to find them? You will need to navigate from the "Results" tab to the specific race you are looking for. Then click on "Lap sheets" (see below picture), document will open in a new window




or go to the "Site Map" which is available on the bottem of every page of the OPA Website




If there is a lap sheet document for that particular race, you will see them listed below the Race, click on the link "Lap Sheet" and it will open in a new window

Very cool - but a quick question on class 6 as our B/O speed is 70mph and Wazzup II ran 70.50 (approx) for a "LAP" Average? .. how the heck do you read this?

Its a little funky, Whoz Your Daddy didnt break out, but had one lap where they averaged 76.3

I do like seeing the lap times though, very cool Dee!

Yes something doesn't make sense. We watched the GPS like every one else and saw 75.0 2 times max how did we end up with a76 mph average?

Maybe it was done by time/distance for speed calculations..depending on what line you took the distance would change

The average speeds according to our lap sheets are not correct. My guess is the distance entered into the computer program was estimated and it calculated avg. speed based on wrong info.

So what you guys are saying is that when you make turns, you dont shed any speed??? Avg lap speed is exactly what it says. The old rule of thumb was that your avg was approx 6-8 mph under your top speed when you factor in turns.

Now if you guys dont lose any speed in the turns, let me the first to say I have wasted a pretty productive 13 year career in this sport and I need to walk away, cause I'll never be able to do that

Also look at the svl speeds, Pirate ran an impeccable race, however they averaged approx 8-10 mph faster than any SBI boat has this season.

No, what were saying is that we DO loose speed in the turns, which makes the numbers even more wrong lol
