Well said Frank, because I don't recall ND even giving us more than 1/4th the coverage that Jim does @ Drag Race Central, and certainly not with the finite detail that Jim offers! Thanks to you Jim, I quickly learn what went down at the various races w/o being at them, so as to be in the loop up on my racing buds (and others) nationwide...keep it up Jim!

My only question Jim is how do you guys come up with the distance approximations that you post with the close races? I ask because I just read the elimination coverage between Jason Line & Larry Morgan from the Las Vegas nat's, and after seeing the finish line shot on the tube, that looked much closer than a 9" finish line m.o.v. to me (per the .0026 finish line difference)? I took intrigue in this because in my race at San Antonio, the finish line difference in my race with George McMillan was .0029 and stated to be approx. 4". Since my car only did 84mph, and Larry's pro stocker did over 200mph, I'm curious of how my car could be closer to a 120mph stocker (who crossed the line ahead of me), than two cars that nearly ran the same speed (and much faster I might add than mine), when my m.o.d. (margin of defeat) was .0003 worse than Larry's?

Thanks to DRC for a hell of a good job. Like I said, if you don't like what you see, don't visit the site. And don't critisize.

Hi Gary,

The software we have calculates the margin of victory using the timing information that comes off the Compulink system.
