Hey BJ,
Winner in 31sec over 520 mtrs...
equals 16.77 meters per sec

Other runner
Beaten 10 meters/lenghts
equals 16.45 meters per sec
so it's time is 31.61 sec

Winner 31.00 sec
Runner 31.61 sec

Am i on the right track ???

If you use 0.066 for one length or 0.07 it gets almost the same result.
Beaten by 10 meters
10*0.066 = 0.66
10*0.07 = 0.7
New time 31.66
New time 31.7

Just trying to understand your handicapping rules, if im wrong could you post a work out.
Cheers
