Comp-U-Link timing systems record, (internally), to the millionth of a second, (0.000000). The Comp-U-Link timeslip displays to the ten-thousandth of a second, (0.0000). Therefore, any "win margin" displayed as 0.000 can be as large 0.00009.
In the first example, that would be two-tenths of an inch, (0.20091 inches).
In the second example, that would be slightly less than two-tenths of an inch, (0.19987 inches).

The second example would be more than the first example, since the car that got there second was 150.18 mph. That would calculate to .23788 inches.
