Default Tightest loss .0007

Went to a 10.0 race this weekend. Qualified no. 11 with a 10.03. First round went 10.003/133 with a .016 light. Opponent went 10.013/128 with a .006 light. We both had .019 packages. I lost by .0007. Closest race I had. It had to be less than an inch at the finish line. One day I will have good luck at the races.
Been having a tuff time getting by first round this year.

Just keep at it!
How did the run on your last time shot before that round ?
Was everything including track temp the same?

I mean dam, that small difference could have been a shift in any head wind in your lane!

Actually 2 inches. But can't tell that at the finish line.

Awesome race, except for the win light on the wrong side.

Have fun with this one too. I had to call Portatree on Monday after the race to get an answer as to why I won this round!
