My numbers assumed a fully functional LC, not the crippled US version...
Me too. But, nope, a deal is a deal. Hey, and you did better than I did. I never expected 118 MPH. But, there's hope. Two more mags to come in.

You did really well. The killer for me was estimating "only" 115 MPH. Well, see.

Nvod, I made a typo when typing in the 1/4 time. Instead of 11.4, I meant 12.4
Think about it, even a porsche gt2 can't get 11.4 in a quarter!!!! Can I change or is it too late? There's still 2 more mags out. Alright, don't let me beg. I'm going to say it . . . I'm going to say . . . "Yeah, but the M5 is . . . .ok, I'll wait for you response.

You know it was an honest typo

You can't fool me. I know you for an optimist. And, I meant to hit the 8 not the 5 for 118, not 115. Just kidding; I believe you, but I can't change the rules. I'll go back later tonight and show what you would have had without the typo. Then, I'll ask for a vote on whether you should be allowed a do over.

Given his other times, I agree--11.4 would be out of sync.

Now about that crippled LC issue...

I was afraid you'd say that. OK, 2 votes for letting B32 change his estimate. I guess majority rules. I suppose he would vote for himself. So, maybe that's 3 ayes. Anyone else?
