Very nice! Those wins are very satisfying.

I lost by .0005 once. That was frustrating because I gave back the stripe but didn't think I had.

yes, I recall that being at now defunct Central Florida, and you asked me to calculate the Distance-of-Victory, which was something like .090", or the thickness of a quarter
