I just realized...........................

In elimination type drag racing, an eliminated loser could still have a quicker
ET than the winner of the whole event.

This may maybe the only sport where fast can equal losing.
I guess that is why bracket racing is still popular these days.

Has anyone realized strange situations?

Yes, I found something equally strange. For the past 20 years or so I have been fiscally conservative. I have saved and not spent too much. My home is right-sized. I've invested in the market like a good American.

Now I'm being asked to take it in the ***.

It's all about reaction time.
