The good news: |
|
...
the Electric Imp won its 1st pole position ever
... the Electric Imp was the fastest SPU car on the track this weekend.
... We should have lead the race and
perhaps won.
... At 1:44.763, the car is 3 seconds faster than ever before.

| Two
dead chargers and no race points. That is the bad news. |

The
new radiator is unproven. It failed to cool the motors sufficiently
but the air box had blown open and that must have impacted air flow.
We
also had to add two pints of water to the cooling system after qualifying.
There is no evidence of a leak so we suspect an air pocket somewhere
in the system that was only able to migrate to the highest point
during the session.

| The
batteries ran at around the same temperature as at Roebling Road qualifying.
That session was also at 500 amps but with the warm air from the radiator
in front of them. We had hoped for better cooling with this redesign
(radiator behind), but again the blown open air box could have affected
the results. |
| |
| Our
braking imbalance turned out to be a switch left in the wrong position.
We did qualifying with the rear regenerative braking turned off. This
hurt our miles per kW-hr figures. We used about 1.43 kW-hrs per mile
without regen and 1.17 kW-hr per mile with regen. |
