NJ Lidar Testing Meet 8/16

[modsl55amg]

I want to extend my sincere Thanks to Tom/BRD, RedRocket, Radarrob, and the other members who manned the equipment, transcribed the information for each run, and ran a very well organized meet earlier today! I also want to extend a sincere Thank You to the club members who manned the radios and kept everyone advised as to when they were to line up, start their individual runs, and who kept the pace of runs flowing. I met many friendly members at this meet, which was the first one for me. It was great to finally put faces to the forum members user names, as well as to learn the members actual names. It was also interesting to speak with various members about the specific installation of their equipment and components. There were a lot of friendly people assembled today, all with one goal in mind, and I look forward to the next meet, when I intend to provide help, as needed, to fellow members, just as they provided to and for me at today's meet. Again, Thanks to everyone who helped organize and run today's meet. I now look forward to reading the results of our runs, and see if any adjustments need to be made in order to have our systems operating at peak performance.

Glad you were able to come down and bring Joe Bruno with you. We posted results in Post # 1 and also in Post # 72

I'm very happy to see that JoeBruno (whose work is beautiful) made it to the meet. One can never learn too much in the pursuit of perfection.

Tom/BRD, Thank you for the extremely quick posting of today's test results. I am sure both Joe and I learned a lot from today's activity. I am sure the knowledge and experience today will help Joe (Joe Bruno Designs) provide excellent installation services of ALP systems to his customers and forum members.

Tom, would you happen to know the approximate distance from the finish line/equipment to the starting line where cars entered the street from the parking lot?

Also, regarding the test results, would you know which of my autos ( SL55 AMG or E55 AMG) was the modsl55amg #1 and which was the modsl55amg#2?
This information will be vital in determining how or what must be adjusted on one auto or the other. I seem to think, from my informal notes, that the SL55 was the modsl55amg#1, and that the E55 was the modsl55amg#2.

Finally, if modsl55amg#1 was the SL55 AMG, there were two runs where the Dragon Eye Lidar and the Dragon Eye Compact obtained PHL PTs at over 1,500 feet, which is slightly more than 1/4 mile from the finish line. The SL55 has dual ALPs in the front grill, at the same level as the headlights. Without seeing the car as you answer this (although there are pictures of the car in the Show Your Install Thread), would you feel that the ALP sensor, on the passenger side of the front grill, be adjusted/angled ever so slightly toward the driver's side, in order to possibly avoid the PT at over 1,500 feet. Or do you think I should wait for the front/center ALP sensor to become available, and have it installed to possibly avoid the PHL PT? Of course, no matter which action I may take, testing will either prove or disprove the action taken was actually accurate in avoiding a Dragon Eye PT. Thanks in advance for your advice, when you have the time.

I can spend sometime with you going over the systems in the next few days but I am swamped with catching up and getting weekend orders processed to get them out tomorrow so I cant do it now. Joe was driving the #2 from our notes so that should answer which vehicle was which. Course was around 1700ft.

OK, Thanks for now TOM. I'll contact you later in the week to see if/when I may have a couple of minutes of your valuable time, and see if you can possibly help.
