Slope of 6.4%


Redeye top speed 203 mph


A stock Redeye has a peak acceleration of over 1g. Assume this Redeye will accelerate at an average of .091 g (2.93 ft/s2)


The 12.42 mile long Pike’s Peak course has over 156 turns


What you might need:

A calculator


The internet (unit conversions)


A smart friend


Some kinematic equations:

d=v^2/2a


t=v_f/a


t=d_remaining/v_f
