Take a look at the figure from Martin et al 97 posted by Tom Anhalt earlier in this thread. During those trials the conditions were about as challenging as they could possibly be; the wind was high, gusty, and constantly changing directions.


On the other hand it appeared to be just one set of conditions in one location. And one surface material. And pretty far away from any structures or vegetation. That's not precisely "real world" conditions, compared to, say, the Flo experiments which used actual race courses.

Maybe that doesn't matter to the end result, though.
