Trust and contact patches

Good Morning Acumen Motorsport fans and friends.  It’s 7:00 am here in CT and back from the gym.  Normal work today involved a zoning commission presentation – unlike next Tuesday when we will be at 170++ MPH on the Daytona banking.

Contact patches – think about your car. All the acceleration, braking and turning action is predicated on four rather tiny patches where your tires touch the pavement.  Race tires tend to be larger and the rubber compounds, stickier – but the contact patch is surprisingly small.  Race drivers need to have total trust in those patches to get around the track at the highest possible speeds in the shortest time period.  We will be at 55 MPH in the slowest portion of the track and over 170 at the top.  TRUST!
