A lot has to do with the competition, though and whether you are actualy competing. If tankmonkey comes out to HRP with me in February and I run, say a 12.9 to his 14.6, that 1.7 or 17 carlengths isn't really a "crushing victory" in my book. In that case, I'd say we both had good runs.
If it's someone you are actually "racing", then 5 carlengths/.5 seconds is pretty decisive.

Too bad it was twisted studs and not really a broken axle though. It's a badge of pride to break an axle.
