Default Interesting time slip from last night

http://www.mustangmods.com/data/440/82703.jpg

I'm in the right lane and he the left. My reaction time was .083 longer than his and my dial in was off by .198 to his .080. And yet I get the win.

I was ahead by several car lengths and shut down is why my et was so far off from my dial in. And mph was down due to shutting down.

I didn't lose. I was way ahead. It must have been a computer glitch though. Maybe never know for sure.

We did run the race over and I still won but just barely that time. We had to convince the track officials that something was wrong with the numbers. I'm thinking some how they didn't give him a head start even though it was printed on the time slip. Had I not shut down I would have beat him 4-5 lengths.

It does look like he should have had the win on that slip with a better reaction time and closer to his dial in. Guess we will just have to start calling you "Lucky Larry".
