I will say that I did not take into consideration that some tracks break down into 10 thousanths on the slip. I know Pittsburgh and a few other places in the northeast do this. Ron Ortiz brought up a good point with his answer. The original question not based off the 4th digit was worded..... If you're .000, break out by 1 thou, and give up the finish line by 1 thou....There is no mathematical way you can lose, except.....I came up with a few answers and some of you have listed them on here.
1.) Cross the centerline
2.) Hit the wall
3.) Excessive braking
4.) Run over the tree
5.) Come up light at the scales(Stock/Super Stock)
6.) Fail a (BAT)

Def post if you think of anymore
Ryan,read Ron's post again.He said "mathematical" way to lose.
Us old guys aren't the brightest bulbs in the box but we still have some current going to the bulb.:>):>):>)
