define 1 car length

[culmination]

we all say or read about race stories by how many car lenght you have won... but from where do we measure this??

for instance...

A) does 1 car length mean that you have beaten your oppnent when his front bumper is almost at your rear bumper.. hence making it one car length??



or

B) does 1 car length mean that the distance between you and the opponent is approximately 1 car length



because if "B" is the case.. 1 car lenght is a lot...

here is a diagram.. hehe

(A) is my answer

 

[CharlieCobra03]

A is my answer as well but many would choose B.

One car length he is at your bumper. Half car length probably at the rear of your front door. The bottom part of the drawing is a two car length lead.

 

[vegaspackerfan]

A....Becuase from your front to his front is "1" car length. B it is 2 .

Oops i thought it was B...I suck...

 

[RunninRed]

I was thinking B as well.

 

[DaleM]

I was thinking B as well.

stop thinking immediately, go to a NASCAR or a Kentucky Derby race they use horse length there instead of car length though.

 

[MaSTi]

I go by A. My thoughts are the exact same as vegas.

I guess i usually say, "One car length of open water"....so i guess that i am right then :shrug:
