Was looking at Tampa race 8 tomorrow the 1. The final time for the race is 148.80 but the adjusted time is 143.90. What does adjusted time account for.
Thanks

The adjusted time uses the track variant of course, but there are also track to track and surface to surface adjustments. We jokingly call it "Mythical Downs", but it basically means you can compare the fractions run at any distance and any track and on any surface to each other without worrying about all that stuff. A 22 is faster than a 23 in all cases, etc.

Cannot find an answer to a few questions on the website. Red is fast and blue is a slow pace. How many lengths triggers each designation?
Thanks

It is based on the figures, and varies by distance. I'm traveling right now and don't remember the exact numbers off hand, but I'll get back to you soon.

When you get a chance that would be great. On the website there is no contact number but a support email. Who would be best to contact with a few specific questions.
Thank You Sir

Matt at customer service. Stuck in the OKC airport or I'd find a number.

Was wondering what the color coding is that was added to the last race class indicator.

Being a long time user of CJ's figures this is turning into everything I wanted to see in a PP (along with a few more tweaks I am sure could be coming).

Latest TFUS email says it all......CJ! NICE!
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy - hard work pays off.

I made an Excel spreadsheet to calculate Sartin -type velocity numbers off the times and it works very nicely.

Actually, using MPH and rounding the numbers down to just 1/5's works very well. Had a very good day today.

Am I reading you correctly that you are bringing cj's numbers into a spreadsheet? Do you have this process automated or are you cutting and pasting?

If I'm reading you wrong, my apologies in advance.

CJ has always made the best numbers.Being able to make them into your your own compound thought is the dream.
