That HR is vicious man. It doesnt even have a motor it runs on pure dreams. Which is why no turbo kits are out (How do you turbo charge a dream?). So I really dont think there was anything wrong with your car, a tune could help.
Also were you granny shifting and not double clutching like you should?

A build and boost will take care of that situation!
a temporary fix may be a 3.7, 3.9, or even a 4.1 final drive swap (ring and pinion)

His 3rd can take him to around 103ish so you shifted and he stayed in gear, allowing him to pull. When this happened you got saddened by the HR (aka the dream) causing you to lose focus and give up. Perhaps if you woulda stayed on him the gap would have closed.
In either case a car length isnt much at all. But remember..It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile...winning is winning.
