Dragy Questions

I bought the Dragy GPS unit and of course the app a couple years ago and I love it. However what causes a 0 to 60 time to be invalid or valid? I would really love to learn how to use this app more. I hope I posted this in the correct place. It would be great to have a discussion and learn from you guys all the different bells and whistle‘s of this app and most importantly how to use it properly.

Typically invalid will occur with low satellite signal. And for sure when the slope is <-1%.

That has been my experience.

This one kills me. Just barely invalid. But alas, it was invalid.

I bet if you do that same run in the same spot you will get a different slope.
Try it again.

Dragy slopes are inaccurate in the shorter distances, esp 0-60mph. Columns 2-4 from GNV Raceway same day, same lane, 3 hours apart... Doesn't matter at a strip, but frustrating at unknown locations.
