Race chain practice

I'm calling the 83 DL 404" done too. I Feel like I'm getting a little better each time I do one of these. Had a good 12 hours into this one. Under close scrutiny I can still see some slight beaks. Is this a big deal for a race chain?
Critique is welcome.

That is some very nice looking work.    I think everyone who is entering needs to bring their A game if they plan on competing with what I see.

Had the time to throw at it, I figured working in a cool garage beats stacking firewood in this dreadful heat.
