G'day,
I have had the pleasure of watching the videos of Chuck Aulgur's original
reaction arm system at the Santa Rosa GMCMI convention last year and the
video's of Jim K's production version of that system at Pueblo this year.
From what I saw on both occasions I am satisfied that it works and I think
we all agree with that [not quite sure about Ken H though] ;-). The point
under discussion IMHO is how WELL it works.
If my memory serves me well I remember reading some brake testing that Ken H
did with different brake pads shoes or something. Unfortunately I can't
remember where I read it but I am reasonably confident that it discussed
stopping distances from various speeds.
As I understand there are three coaches with the production system
installed; the design engineer that took Chuck's system and came up with the
production system (I think his name is Rick), Chuck Aulgur's coach, and Jim
K's personal coach.
I would suggest that one (or more) of these three coaches be used to
duplicate Ken's testing so we'd have hard data to compare.
