Uhhhhhh. ???
Okay, I'm lost. Are your second results THE DIFFERENCE from the first results? If so, it should be recorded as such.
As it reads (to me... and it is late) you stopped from 60MPH in 7 feet (face against the windshield no doubt) and then on the 2nd stop in 1 foot (likely you died from the impact) and then somehow slide backwards by 2 minus feet after the 3rd and 4th stops. Perhaps there is a time machine switch in those SRT brembos that places you back two feet from the previous stopping point as you engage them after 2 consecutive stops in the same place? Dunno. Maybe in the afterlife from the death of stop #2 we go backwards instead of forwards.
Perhaps the 4 guys that patted you on the back after the post are some sort of super scientists that can figure all that out. As for me... just a simple midwestener.
I did.

i've read Scott's results over on jeepgarage prior to this post so I was simply reitterating my appreciation for his efforts it's too late for me to try to interpret the results again!!

Reading comprehension Indy....LOL

next utility pole as measuring point(just worked out that way) Plus I had no measuring device longer than 25 ft to measure distance between utility poles. Test conducted on private site/company owned/closed."
It is a little hard to read I guess if you skim through real quick. But I used one utility pole as the braking point and the next utility pole as my measuring point because I didnt have a measuring device long enough to measure between the poles. I would guess its about 100 ft. between the poles. So you can add say 100 ft. to each of those measurements.

also...I will go get the best measurement between the said poles right now. I meant to do that anyway...but no one else seemed to not get what i was saying and saw that I used one pole as the braking point and one pole as the measuring point since I didnt have a measuring device longer than the 25 ft tape.
