It costs $25 to make as many passes as you like, do it.

The trap speed seems high as well, but that's probably the least accurate part of it. It's never going to be able to perfectly judge a 1/4 of a mile like a laser beam.

You also need to secure the device very well, assuming you're using a smart phone, don't just lay it on the seat.
It was a flat road the device was secure. I didnt hardly spin, i should probably be launching at a higher rpm, i did 3000 rpm or so, what rpm do you launch at at the track? The high trap is probably a result of the tailwind. I will try to upload the graph soon, toward the end i do seem to gain more mph than i probably should have. This run was definatly the best shifting ive done so far i think.

It was the 3rd run i did in 10 mins, both the others were a bit worse, but better than my previous best.

Some day i will go to a 1/4 mile track, the local track here is 1/8th mile, the closest 1/4 is ~40 miles away and this bridge is literally 1 mile from my house.
