I'm just finishing up with Thursday...final review, rearrange, and rename is left. Only 4 more days of a little over 2100 pictures left before I get to bundle them all into a neat little (???) folder called Reno 2007. Never thought I would get through the smokey days of earlier in the week.

My guess is 4482 RPM

*IF* the wheel is 9" in diameter, then:
the circumference is: 28.27" (9 X 3.1415)
*IF* the touchdown speed is 120 MPH, then:
RPM's is 4482:
(((120/60) X 5280)X12)/28.27

for a touch down speed of 80 MPH, then:
RPM's is 2988

I know that's kinda fast (the 120 MPH) and the tail wheel won't touch down till much later, but you can change the numbers around for your guess. (if I did it right)

Re: Thursday Reno Pictures

Excellent work Mister. I'd like a great shot of Race #57 going by the stands.

Re: Thursday Reno Pictures

That hard rubber tail wheel looked less than 9" diameter to me this last year and the speeds I have heard are in knots. I would have guessed higher than 4482 but instead of doing the math I played with pictures. What ever it is, I bet that thing is zinging when it hits.
