Unless it's the final round at the U.S. Nationals, and you're the slower car, and you bulb with a near-telepathic-.999... while your faster competitor has a -.213, but, goes home with the money and the Wally...

Then, it becomes a big deal.

Has this ever hapened? I don't know, and the likelihood of it happening is small.

But it COULD.

And when/if it does, I hope it's Ed Fernandez, and his Gremlin, leaving first.
In your example the faster car still wins either way. -.999 is much worse than -.213

Facts and simple math never get in the way of Bill's rants.

Okay, let’s try it this way then. New rule:


*No reaction time, nor any indication of a reaction time, shall be revealed or displayed until both cars have registered a reaction time.*


Now what in the world could possibly be unfair about that?

Sounds like they think if they keep posting crap on the Internet it will be changed. Don't really understand that kind of dreaming.
