How many G's?

[Magnethead]

Poll: Just how many G's do you think the black box onboard MCDowel's car registered?

I'll do a rough mathematical figure later on.

I came up with between 9.5 and 15.5 G's mathematically. What the black box comes back with, who knows.

note that Gordon at pocono registered 64G.

my guess is somewhere near 100

Had to be at least 100 or better. He whacked that thing.

When it takes the track crew over and hour to fix the spot on the wall where you hit - you hit it hard.

This is possibly one instance where the wall might have actually lost.

I didn't think the black box figures were released to the public.

But my guess is 70-85

That had to be harder than Gordons. That was a wicked hit.

Why don't they let the public know what the G-force comes to? I would think that would give them the opportunity to brag about the cars safety.

It's released only if the driver allows. Gordon allowed his to be released from pocono, but not from Vegas that I know of.
