Coast Down Spreadsheet

The latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports had an article on the effect of tire rolling resistance on MPGs and drag. The results weren't surprising to those of us familiar with this stuff, but they posted a cool spreadsheet that you can enter your coast-down testing data into to calculate drag and required wheel power.

The link to the spreadsheet is here: Discover Your Drag with Coast-Down Testing: Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Articles
