Launch Practice
The Impulse GII can be used to hone launching skills without actually firing cars off the line. This is
a useful activity for perfecting the launch technique and reducing reaction time.
To conduct a launch practice, skip the entire prelaunch setup process. Proceed with the manual
launch as described in Steps 1-4 on page 9. The start gate will display reaction times for both lanes.
The finish time windows will continue counting until the Reset button is pressed. Both launch trig
-
gers must be activated before the system will reset.
After the Launch
As the cars reach the end of the track, they should strike the towels and come to a safe halt.
Finish End
1. Move the towels aside and roll the cars to the end of the parking area.
2. Replace the towels in their position just behind the finish gate.
Start End
3. Lift the launch pods and roll the next pair of
staged cars to the starting line (Figure 19).
4. Follow Steps 5-7 of the prelaunch setup
procedure on page 7 to prepare the next pair of
cars.
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible injury from an
accidental launch, do not cock the launch pods until
the finish crew has signaled they are ready (having
completed Steps 1 and 2).
5. When the prelaunch setup is complete, press the
Reset button to start the next launch sequence.
