I think you go to the next event that wasn't counted and see who has the higher finishing position.

Finally! An SCCA event where I have an advantage.
Can't we just do a "tug of war"? - less destructive.

And also if it were a certain Celica that you were tied with?!? In a club wide drag, my money is on Disney.

In a club wide drag my money is NOT on the Locost or the Celica or the MR2 for that matter. I think of those 3 the Locost would win but not against everybody especially if we are going to race the 1/8 mile

The Locost will run the 1/8th in about 8.1 seconds. The 1/4 in 12.8 at about 105 mph. Zero to 60 in 4.3 seconds. It has a great power/weight ratio, but also has the areodynamics of a brick... maybe worse than a brick (0.62 coefficient of drag). Most decent cars are about 0.30 give or take. So, it'll get up to fifty or sixty really quick and then the atmosphere starts pushing back on it.
I don't think a GS Celica will run 8.76 in the 1/8th though.... you talking about a MR2, Mr. Brown?

However, I could put a Lotus 11 body on it pretty easy
