Re: Some thing to think about
Ricky Baehr and I did our stats on DRR a couple of years ago, and the distribution looked pretty similar if I recall. You could probably do something with 1320go.

Re: Some thing to think about
I would like to see a comparison of some racers to others and see where they are in the bell curve or out of it. lol

Re: Some thing to think about
Everyone falls within the "bell curve" .The bell curve(from my nightmarish memories of statistics in orthodontic grad school) is a result of graphing the distribution of a measurement such as average reaction times of different drivers. A natural distribution of a measurement produces a bell shaped curve when you "connect the dots". I believe the question to ask would be: Where do average reaction times of different drivers fall on such a graph?" In any case, great topic Don!

Re: Some thing to think about
Perhaps what Don wants to know is what is the average reaction time and what is it's standard deviation. From that of course, don would be able to figure out if he is fast or slow and how far above and below the average he is.

Re: Some thing to think about
A very simple Bell Curve like what Don is proposing only needs data of RT from participants, lets use Super stock from Vegas, how many 001 to 1.99 just use NHRA data. Claude

David, is that where the saying comes from, “the data can’t lie only statisticians”
