But over the last 4 years or so, I kept increasingly detailed notes on each pass; weather, data logging, bike set up, my riding.
That's how I identified the components of how to get more mph in the front half.
Honest injun, in this case, I don't give a shit about the science
Aside from trying to reconcile the above statements, I am still wondering how the "launch" discussion turned into the "front half of the track" discussion.

Shane, reconciling those statements is easy.
I made observations on each pass, then made what i felt were improvements on the next pass.
If that improvement didn't add mph, it was discarded.
This is not simple because even when I decided to try a new technique, it often took time to get it right,
AND
wind direction trumps almost everything.
As I have stated time and again, I don't have calculations (your science) to back up the basis of my technique; thus my comment "i don't give a shit about science" (in this case).
Simply, I care about results.
I got results.
But this is your thread,
you have again pointed out it's about "the launch" (not about going faster)
