Slightly off topic but can anyone explain this:

Racing Polo GTI APR map and a few other bits.

60ft time im .4444 ahead
330 ft time im .4956 ahead (pulling away)
half way im .4427 ahead (so he's just started to close the gap)
Half way im .13MPH faster?? (so how is he catching)
1000' im .3545 ahead (still catching??)
1/4 mile finished .324 ahead (so was catching me all the way from the half way point)
1/4 mile finished 1.53 mph FASTER than him.

So my question is, how can i be traveling faster at the half way point and finish line but still be loosing ground??  Also his 2nd half MPH increase was 18.66 MPH and mine was 20.06 MPH   :confused: :confused:

Is the timing equipt at the Pod any good?????? 

Also, i ran a best time of 15.02 but when i got back i was told it came up on the big numbers as 14.5  :chicken:

Im confused........  HELP  :rolleye:

What lane was this in mate, the right?

My car made it onto the table   :happy2: - even though I wasn't driving the car  :ashamed:  I reckon with the mods I have planned, I might just be able to get a sub-13s time by the summer...  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Illyun you got it baaaaaaaad!  :grin:

I don't know whats the matter with me... I just won't feel good until I get that sub-13 time  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :driver:

I think he's got it worse than Jonnyc, Redrobin and me put together :signLOL: :driver:

Yeah, but you and Redrobin are the Godfathers of Mk5 modding  :P  JonnyC's the Mk5 newcomer who's set the benchmark way higher than anyone else has done before   :drool:

I've looked at some other times too and they don't make sense... I reckon something may not be quite right with the timing equipment at the Pod  :confused:

.... in the right lane..
Everything else seemed fine (very similar to previous runs on previous days), just the terminals seemed about 3% higher in the right lane compared to the left for some reason..  :confused:

Oh and this sub 13 sec run your chasing... I hope you get there mate, as I have first hand experience of how annoying it can get..   :grin:
