you had 1/8 mile to go. He had at least 1 1/8 mile to go. His speed to overtake you if you were running 170 would be well over 200 mph.

Sutphen just helped with the math.. Assuming Bill was running 170 with a 1 mile lead with 1/8 mile to go, Gino would need to run 1530 MPH JUST to tie him at the bridge.

and no, thats not a typo, its the math

1530 MPH to tie

-Had to much fuel

-The OL cut me off

-Ate peppers for breakfast..had upset stomach

-PP jumped the start

-Didn't have a good line

-1.24 killed my acceleration

-Got tricked

-PP has fixed videos that were fabricated

-only 39 pitch mercs

-I couldn't keep the wheel straight

-Myboats not fast enough..oops..I mean my boat was going 220 at the end and really moving

-couldnt turn any rpms

-i needed more power

-should have left my 1.35 in for acceleration

-blah blah blah

All very valid problems if you are just looking for an excuse as to why you got WHOOOPED
