Bottom post of the previous page:

Expected them to be faster today. Not slower than last year: 1:11.376.

I almost went with a 1.11 time but backed out of it at the last minute when I put my time in. Then I almost changed it and again, backed out of it. Oh well, them's the breaks.
I almost edited my time mush slower also, but stopped myself after feeling the burn of re-guessing my way out of about 3 wins over the years. This was one of the few times, I should have went with my second instinct.

I'll post results in a bit...

Win it or Bin it Ferner does it again. :sick:

@Michael Ferner you have this reputation of winning or binning..... there have been too many wins lately and its about time you fed the other side of your reputation.

Nah, well done. Again.

Im quite sure I havent troubled the scorers this weekend. :tearful: :rolleyes:

I'm only binning it. Or they run slower than the slowest guess, and i have the fastest time. Or it is the opposite. Max' time was slower than the pole of last year. With quite a margin.

Its all very compressed this year in term of the guesses being close. Six rounds in, and I am over 3 full races behind Michael, yet. in accuracy terms am a total of 1.7 seconds adrift. 1.7 secs over 6 races sounds reasonably close..... 3 + races, or 33 points behind, just 7 points scored, sounds crappy. :tearful: :nuts:
