I'm going to hijack this thread for just one more post...
If a person was AutoX'n' and they turned a 49.7 --- would they then tell people they ran a "Fourty"?
If I was running a road course - and ran a 1.52 -- would I say I ran a "one"...
In racing -- TIMES COUNT - and HUNDREDTHS COUNT.... Leave statements like I run "9's" in the bar with a bunch of people that don't know and don't care... a 9.98 is DAMN impressive (I'm MORE THAN impressed!) - but it ain't a 9... and to argue otherwise is just silly semantics. A 9 is a 9.0 -- or it ain't... unless you say I run INTO the 9's... and then it's some number that is "into" the 9's... We used to say it like this -- We broke into the 9's.... and that is what a 9.98 is...
I love the car - love the build - but I also like facts... So let's be friends. Cause it's all good. And now my stomach is turned and I don't like that...
