Explain how a racer can win a race with a "worse" package.
.002 package beats a .001
Racer #1 Racer #2
Dial 5.00 6.09
R/T .000 .001
E/T 5.001 6.091
Racer #2 wins, explain how.

Racer 1 crosses the center line or hits the wall.

That is a correct answer but not the one I was thinking of.
This kinda reminds me of the old cheers episode where Cliff goes on Jeopardy and answers "who are 3 people that have never been in my kitchen"
Keep trying

Racer 1 crosses the center line or hits the wall. I don't think that racer 1 would have hit the wall and ran dead on with a 1....lol. Unless he dialed for it... ;D My guess is racer #2 took a pretty decent size bump in the stage beams and was lucky enough to still hit the tree and not go red, hence the head start by about 1-2 inches or .001 to .004 starting line advange. Then of course there is the ever dreaded .000 redlight, had one of them 2 weeks ago at Owensboro. Scotty Vaughn |

Scotty Vaughn The stage depth would not effect the outcome of the race. The numbers printed are what each car performed regardless of the stage depth. Think deeper. |

Man, he must be holding alot to bounce it off the wall and go dead on. ;D Of course I used to do that in the old burnout pce computer game. |

Time ticket doesn't show the 4th or more digit. Racer 2 has .0000 and racer 1 has .0009 for example

I think most timing systems go down to 1/1000000 of a second, but don't show more than 4 places. At least all the IHRA tracks I have raced on show 4 decimals.
