Has there ever been a dead on run?

Theoretically, if your dowel covers the target point you get a score of 0 for distance. Maybe a dead-on run is unlikely, but my point is I personally think the scores (not times, but total scores) of the top 6 teams will all be under 8. How they get those scores could vary (a 7.5 second car that's extremely accurate, a 5 second car 1.5cm off the mark, etc.).

I scored a dead on run at 4m at my regional. However, my car was pretty slow, ~9 seconds

1st Place at the Michigan State Tournament was 0cm from the target with 9.9 seconds.
