Hi Nocal,

Val2 and Val3 are not as accurate anymore as they were when Doc released them, ONLY because they calculate the TrackMaster supplied Speed Rating and daily track and inter-track variants incorrectly following TrackMaster's recalibration of the SR in 2006. I'm not clear whether Val1 used TrackMaster, but if it did, it would also suffer.

I corrected these formulas in Validator with a new release: Val4. Val4 works as well as Val2 or 3 ever did.

Or, you can used the Windows program: RDSS, which produces the same numbers as Val4.

Cheers,

Ted
