Some afterseason thought
 

If your triple .000, one thou under giving up the stripe by one thou, what ARE the ways you can lose? My friend Bryan Sorce posted this on a forum yesterday and received some pretty interesting answers. So what do all of you think?

I'm guessing maybe you ran over the 1000' clocks

Locking up the brakes through the finish line with smoke involved!!! This seems to raise some concern with track officials.

Light at the scales or don't even stop or skip fuel check. Assuming a class car.
I keep reading the question looking for a trick but the best i figure your opponant is 002 under at best.

Re: Some afterseason thought
 

one thou under means you broke out- did you mean a thou over?

Angelo,

I meant a thou under. Re-read the question again. It can be confusing! My head hurt just writing it!

Easy...he took to much stripe. While Bryan may have driven the strip, when you break out...you break out and lose. Unless the other guy breaks out by more. in this case the other driver may have had a .009 light and been dead on. for a .009 package. leaving Bryanonly .009 to work with.

To really tell the story you need both sides of the time slip.

Re-read the question Bill. You're missing something. This wasn't an actual race. Just a question to get everyone thinking

Re: Some afterseason thought
 

The other car made a perfect run to beat you. Is the first one that I can come up with, maybe the only way. I am not counting any boundry or scale type issues.

If you went one thou under giving up the stripe by 1 thou. then your oppenent ran right on with a zero.
Or you crossed the center line to lose.
