NJ Lidar Testing Meet 8/16

[modsl55amg]

LOL.. RedRocket only gives the Thumbs Up if you JTG on the run, If he got a reading you would have noticed the Thumbs Down.

OK, Thanks Tom. Now I am more confused than ever. I may have to communicate further with you off-line about this, but I will provide a few thoughts here.

I drove my SL55. After every run I wrote down on a pad as to what equipment was used on that particular run, as informed by my system's voice. Every run, except two, were "Thumbs Up". I can't recall if RedRocket was the only person giving the "Thumbs Up" to me, or if someone else may have filled in for some runs. On the two runs I did not get a "Thumbs Up", I received no sign, as after one run RedRocket was retrieving the umbrella that had blown down (this run was against a Stalker), and after the other run RedRocket was walking from his car to the table (this run was against a Truespeed).

Yet, according to the test results, if my SL55 was, indeed, the "modsl55amg #1" per the test results, the SL55 had a PHL PT at 1545 feet versus a DE on one run, and had a PHL PT at 1582 feet versus a DE Compact on another run. I should have/would have received a "Thumbs Down" after each of those two runs. But I did not receive a "Thumbs Down" after any of my runs. All other runs against the DE and the DE Compact, as well as against all of the other equipment were JTG. According to my notes, I received a "Thumbs Up" after each run against the DE and the DE Compact.

I also wonder if there may have been any confusion between the start line member with a radio and the finish line table. Joe Bruno drove my other car, an E55 ("modsl55amg #2" per the test results ?). He always ran immediately in front of me. He did say that he received a couple of "Thumbs Down" sometime after the initial runs. The DE equipment was used after approximately the first three or four runs. So, I do not know if any results, or all results, were possibly written down for the incorrect car.

So, overall, I am very pleased with the results, except for the two runs I just mentioned. I do not know, without a doubt, if I need to perform adjustments on the sensor near the SL55's PHL. I know I will test that car again, as soon as possible, in order to see if the sensor near the SL55's PHL needs to be adjusted in some way, or if the sensor is OK as is.

Any thoughts or advice would be sincerely appreciated.
