Thornton got the shaft tonight

While you may be right the argument could be made that rtj transponder was not in the correct location their for he is disqualified. The rule doesn't state where it's allowed to be as in options. It's where it has to be that way this sort of thing doesent happen. I'm glad rtj isn't pushing the point because he understands that they made a mistake not anyone else. At this point its just beating a dead horse though

I can't find a location specified in the dirtcar rule book?

@MB_racer fact check me on this, but assuming they are going 80mph (probably a gross overestimation), .007 seconds is about 10 inches according to my math. RT definitely crossed first if the blue 1 had it on the nose and Ricky had it on the midplate

Your math is good. All race finishes should be visual. It's good enough for horses and dogs.

I will say this again, the only way transponders would be a 100% correct is all the cars would have to be exactly the same length, and the transponders would have to be in the same location on all cars !
