Pete,
That was a great race we had 1st rd at Atco. I told ya that package will win you a ton of rounds. I just a bit lucky and didn't hit the brakes any sooner then what I did or I would have been .007 behind you! See you this weekend.

Car B gets there first by .0078 & mov was .0078.

Thats 7 thousands, almost 8. How many inches or feet did Car B win by ?????

My Crew Chief Pro 7.1 tells me you where 2 feet behind

Nah, always did it longhand. If I recall, it was like 1.8" per .001 at 115 mph, so I typically just figure 2" per .001 just for guestimation purposes. Faster you go, the more distance covered per time, and vice versa (ie., be VERY impressed with Jr. Dragsters taking .00x stripe!) Had a fun one at the Spring Fling (1000') this weekend... DF/S Turismo vs a Top Sportsman car. He carried 83 mph on me!

Others have pretty well covered the theory here.
