I hear ya but I should have qualified that:
My drag racing experience is strictly bracket racing. You sit at the light, you lose. The cars will almost certainly leave the tree at different times (unless they're dialed in exactly the same) but will cross the finish line very close. First one across wins. Slow reaction time equals a lost race. A bracket race starts when the light goes green and ends when you cross the line. Quickest time wins (unless you've dialed in a dishonest time). Therefore a poor reaction time equals a slower time.
Sorry about the confusion.
