Default Race Debate (time slip inside)

Ok, i raced the same 03 Cobra that ive lost to 3 times again tonight at the local 1/8th, this time i was ready for him though because i got my Predator and was able to rid myself of Knock and increase my rev limiter. So here is the time slip below, im on the right, From my perspective, i couldnt tell who won the race because we were that close, i got him by about 1/4th a car out the whole but he caught up with about 100 feet to go. I got the light and the better ET, but because it says Winner under me, and a time of .000, him and all the Mustang guys think we Tied. You guys be the judge, did i get redemption? Am i 1-3 against this guy now, or 0-3-1? Looked dead even from my perspective, but i did get the light.







TR224/224 112, Hooker LT's, Hooker Catback, ASP pulley, 3.73's, Mcleod Clutch, TSP lid, Maf ends, Pro 5.0, Predator Basic Tune 370 RWHP 363 TQ

Yep, you won, although it was a difference of about .002 seconds at the stripe! That's a close one.

Work on that reaction time! I presume a .000 is a perfect light at that track?

You won. He tree'd you, but you kicked his *** in every other "category" except mph and even that was close.

That was definatly close. He tree'ed you by .148 but you ET'ed him by .150. Thats .002 in your favor as George pointed out.

7.754+.403= 8.157

7.904+.255= 8.159

difference is you were quicker by .002.. but now if the timeclocks round up or down .001 then it could have been a .000 to them but either way you still won. good job.
