MY10_3.6L_Oz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 "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?

Sydtron Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Your ET has nothing to do with your reaction time is what he is trying to say, not whether or not you will win a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Way to mince words, guys. We are talking about what sort of 1/4 times and trap speeds the LGT can do. Those do not depend on reaction time one bit because we're not talking about beating the guy in the next lane. Hence the name of the thread, and hence it is not called "how to win a drag race at the strip". The official is screaming at you because you're tying up the lane and there's money to be made with each run. He could not possibly care less otherwise for how long you sit there. Can we move on now?

Crazy8 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Your ET has nothing to do with your reaction time is what he is trying to say, not whether or not you will win a race. If Oz hasn't figured this out yet, I don't think he's gonna. I can't seem to find the ignore button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with the nastiness? So, you're saying that if you leave late you'll lose the race? Wow. You get the Bronze Figligee with Oak Leaf Cluster award for stating the completely obvious. By the way, I've stated that in two previous posts in this string, so I get the award, as well. The point is, even though you lose the race, the ET clock in your lane starts when your tire leaves the beam - not before, so even though you lost, your ET will not vary from what it would have been had you cut a perfect light. What you have been saying, in effect, is that if Fati LGT had cut a perfect light on that run, he would've turned a 12.828 ET - which is clearly untrue. I don't mind getting into pissing contests from time to time, but in this case, I believe there is a basic misunderstanding between us as to what we are actually discussing. Ease off a bit, won't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydtron Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yeah, that too. A 12.8 ET with only a 94mph trap? Doesn't that sound a bit odd to you? The 60' time would have to be a few tenths of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbscoobie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 "Two separate performances are monitored for each run: elapsed time and speed. Upon leaving the staging beams, each vehicle activates an elapsed-time clock, which is stopped when that vehicle reaches the finish line. The start-to-finish clocking is the vehicle's elapsed time (e.t.), which serves to measure performance. Speed is measured in a 66-foot "speed trap" that ends at the finish line. Each lane is timed independently." That should end the debate... taken directly from the NHRA website my friends. http://www.nhra.com/nhra101/basics.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteWK Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ibtl. Reaction time refers to your reaction to the light tree, nothing to do with et time. 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. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 If you are racing it goes under motorsports. If you are on the street it's not going at all. Racing on public streets is not going to fly here. And here in Motorsports there is already a timeslip thread too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What obviously changes is that, when you leave late, you arrive late, and lose the race. Your ET will be the same no matter when you leave the line, though.

redstriker Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The lowest I have ran in the 1/4 mile was a 14.4 with everything stock. I did that a couple months ago. But it was my first time at the dragstrip, and I know I can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol cause Subarus are not the best 1/4mile cars and most people dont buy them to run 1/4mile therefore most owners dont care too much about 1/4mile times. Always cool to see times imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
