Default Re: Some afterseason thought

When I first saw this question posted on Facebook....I thought of a few simple answers to the question. I posted this on here, because I thought it would get everbody thinking and it def did. The answers are much better on classracer than they were on Bryan's original post on facebook that's for sure. 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,you have too much time on your hands for a young guy.:>):>)
I re-read it Ed, You're correct. I sent my message from work and had a bunch of my students talking to me when I was reading the posts. This was def an interesting question to get the brain working that's for sure.
