Data Analysis Letter #2
#32813 from Clint McMahan · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-09 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. While the supplied 2020 Runoffs results data indicated certain locations where the 593 non-HO's
speeds were slightly higher than those of the 600cc, analysis of the data obtained from cars equipped with AiM data boxes
during that event did not show that the 593 non-HO had a clear performance advantage over two 600cc cars in those sectors.
AiM data was recently obtained from various platforms at the 2022 June Sprints, and a careful review of this data also did not
show that the two-cycle platform had a clear performance advantage over the four-cycle platform. Analysis of the June Sprints
data did show that one car may have an apparently significant but brief advantage over another car at a specific location within
a sector, while not having an overall performance advantage over the other car in that sector. This kind of brief advantage most
often results from a difference in powertrain characteristics of the two-cycle and four-cycle platforms. AiM data will be obtained

from various platforms during the 2022 Runoffs, including any two-cycle cars equipped with the Moto Tassinari part, and
adjustments will be made for 2023 if warranted by the data.
