matthiasj said:i didnt know that the reaction time effected your times. I thought that the timer started when you took off, not when the light turned green...thats what someone told me

95Vert said:So then basically what happened, is that Paul's car took off 2 sec before me and I still managed to catch up and run a 14.9, does that tell me something of what I should be capable of. My MPH seemed very low as well, it was aroung 94-95mph.
Somethings not right with what you are saying. It sounds like you are trying to say that Nacho's car should be a 12.9 sec. car (14.9 ET - 2.000 reaction = 12.9) That is not correct. If both of your ET's are virtually the same, then you would tie if both reaction times are equal. It appears to me that Nacho had a slower 60', but caught up with you some on top end, thus the higher MPH. I know at my local track, they give you a raw ET and then one with reaction time figured in, which unless you cut a perfect reaction (.500 at my track) the adjusted ET will always be higher. With only running about 94.5 MPH in the 1/4, I can promise that you both have ~14.9 second cars.Ram000 said:that's what i figured... since he took off 2 seconds later and caught up, does that mean if he'd've started at the same time, would he've won by 2 seconds?

94gts said:and fyi, its the 3rd yellow light you go on, not the green. the red and green indicate whether you had a false start or not.
