There is one thing more exciting.... Winning it in the last main, on the last lap, in the last turn... after bumping up from the B main.
I like the idea of running bump ups.. it does add time to the total event, but not THAT much comparatively.
I think Nash's pic of the line pretty much settles the controversy. The line was way back on the straight and to me both cars were much to close together at that point to use ANY visual means of determination... it makes sense why the difference was only .04 secs.
