Stock Speeds
#11
CrashGordon (good Name, BTW) I have a Garmin GPS III and have used it to measure my Blaster, Warrior and Banshee. It will read to 1/10th MPH and is accurate to 1/10 MPH as well. That is according to manufacturers specs. GPS are exceptionally accurate devices for measuring speed and distance. Unlike radar guns which require the "tuning fork" calibration or automobile speedometers (my vehicles are all 2% to 4% off) which aren't the least bit reliable the GPS is always calibrated. It actually receives the timing pulses from the GPS satellites in LEO orbit to "self-calibrate" itself. The satellites have on-board cesium beam time standards; cesium is THE reference for time worldwide. Anyhow..... Umm.... I'll stop now.

In regards to the previous message, A Warrior does not run 65MPH stock. A warrior is a fourstroke single cylinder 2 valve system. A 400ex has a much more hi-tech motor. As much as I like the warrior this information is inaccurate. Perhaps the Warrior at the drag strip was not stock, which is very well possible and the only way a warrior can achieve such speed.
