The Trackmaster / Speculator thing is a whole new ball of wax, but yet the same concept. Many here are in the know including Ted who has modified the orig. Val Clipper code..

Fast, thanks for your advice but I have plenty of books. What I am trying to determine is exactly how Trackmaster applies the DTV. That is do they use half the variant when adjusting the ¼ mile time and maybe the entire variant when adjusting the ½ mile time, or some other allocation. In addition, what is Trackmaster using as their zero adjustment. Some people use a track variant of 17 as zero with higher or lower requiring adjustment. For me when I am just making adjustments on my own my zero is a range of 17-21 with above or below requiring adjustment.
I feel that since I am so dependent on Trackmaster adjustments when utilizing the RDSS program as to pace line selection and working with the program outputs that knowing at least how Trackmaster utilizes DTV could be helpful. Many times especially while trying to play the exotics I like to further analyze the selected races and/or compare to other pace lines especially as to time so knowing at least how Trackmaster is adjusting time with the DTV could be helpful. In the end it may not make a difference but it would be good to know so as to lay that to rest.
Thanks,
Robert
