"There is no, repeat no, difference between time trials and actual racing, bracket or otherwise. The ET clock in your lane starts when your tire leaves the beam - not before."

Jeeezus!...I bet in all those years you STILL haven't won a race!!

Here's why?

Bruce:...Stages...2nd stage lights on (shallow)...Amber Amber Amber GREEN!..(pull out crossword as I have time to spare.....sound in the knowledge 'the trophy is mine!!!)....hmmm..whats that Offical screaming at me about???

No sir. You can hang around the starting line (after the green) until the sun starts to set, and you'll still turn the same time and speed as if you left precisely when the green filament began to warm up.

 

Reason: The ET clocks in your lane don't start until your front tire leaves the "Staged" beam.

 

Of course, you'll lose the race if you hang around.

 

However, Fati LGT would've still turned a 14.612 even with a perfect reaction time on that run.

 

You might want to lighten up a bit - and next time you're at the track, experiment a bit with when you leave the line so you can "watch n learn some", yourself.

Bruce pull ya head in...R E A D what I wrote...climb down off your Hi-Horse before ya fall and hurt yourself.

I have been racing for a number of years and race approx 30 times a year....you?...watched NHRA on Cable?

I was talking about racing, not time trials...B I G difference...still some learning needed I see.

Um.

Your ET has absolutely nothing to do with the reaction time. The quarter mile timer doesn't start until the car leaves the beam.

UM..it has EVERYTHING to do with your time when racing, 'heads up' 'dial your own' etc. Why dont you wonder out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and watch n learn some?

funny thing is the H6 3.6l motor WILL NOT rev past 4000 when in neutral.

good luck on your times mate.

My old 1969 Plymouth Fury III with a 440cu / 727auto + 3.55 gears is getting 13.86 with 1.85 60' times.

Work on your staging and reaction times, its cheap speed when you can cut a tight 0.0xx light, its hard in a manual car though.
