"Less than 5 feet?
C'mon Rick, I was there. Your plane was a close second, but according to
the official results there was 1.99 seconds between 1st and 2nd place. At
323 MPH that's over 900 ft. Close at those speeds, but not 5 feet."
Tom,
I was at that race too- Rick's
correct- it was about 5 feet. As his and Darryl's planes flew by the
finish line, there was no space between the tail of Darryl's and the
nose of Rick's. I don't know what race or heat you're referring to, but
Rick's talking about the Gold race in 2003. The gap between first and
second in that race was a very small fraction of one second, not
1.99.
