if you are just learning how to drag, its best to take your time at the lights. Don’t worry about having a bad reaction time, you can work on that later. Get your launch consistant to where you don’t have to think about it too hard. Your ET, and trap are not affected by your reaction time. Then once you have the launch down, start working on the timing of a good reaction time. The staging window is big enough that you can shallow stage (pull far enough forward to just trip the “stage” lights, or you can deep stage (pull forward enough to hit the “stage” lights then a little more where you are almost crossing the line, but not enough to turn the lights out. You can use these techniques to help get your r/t down towards .500. I like to shallow stage and leave early. Other people like to deep stage and leave later. Its all personal preference and how fast the car jumps off the line too. Its addicting and I’m sure you’ll be at the track a lot now.
