competition vs race[edit]

Racing the clock is often involved in a variety of competitions, should some type of clarification be included in this article? An example would be competitive eating, where you "race" against your competition to see who finished there meal fastest. Salted Dragon (talk) 06:34, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eating is now included, merged from 'Simple English' --Kslotte (talk) 13:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heat race[edit]

freddysonline@netzero.net Why is the word heat used in the phrase "heat race" ?

Finish detection[edit]

I miss the mentioning of the detection of reaching the finish line.

By plain watching, fotografically, video and slow motion, comparison with a line on the ground, a sensoring mattress and RFID-chips on a shoe, RFID on a side of a racing bikes fork, a finish-ribbon across the track(s) to be broken by a runner, a thin round finish-line in the height of the chest to be seen 1936 at the 1500-m-run of.

Jack Lovelock breaking finishing line 1936

Does finishing line there mean the thin rope/thread that is to be broken or pulled out from a sensing mechanism? (German: Zielband – if it would be a ribbon) Or, but the painted line on the ground? (German: Ziellinie)

Even an article Finish line (sport) is missing ;).
