Someone told me he was running mid 8s so I knew it would be a close one if he could launch it. It was a ferrari 360. On our pass I went 8.32@85(new pb at Lancaster) to a 8.88@84. No one got vids. ---

1. stop sleeping at the light. 2. pretty bad 60ft. try peddling it to get out of there instead of just hammering down. youll be quicker. ---

Don’t get on him about reaction time learn to drive the car first MPH is also low for that setup ---

^^^how is reaction time not part of driving a car? leave as soon as the second bulb shuts off if you have to. can also try staging deeper, however you will have a slightly slower mph and et if you stage deeper because you wont already be “rolling” through when you trip the beams. but this is pretty small, not critical unless youre racing very competitve classes where everyone is within thousandths of seconds. ---

His issue is his launch look at the 60 foot He needs to get the launch and driving down before worrying about reaction time When people worry about the lights and can’t drive they get a shitty launch He isn’t bracket racing and that car should be running in the 7s ---

yes. reaction time always matters. it doesnt matter if your bracket or racing heads up. racing heads up like these guys are first one across the line wins it doesnt matter what the et is its your overall time. he had a reaction time of 1.19…if he ran someone that had a near perfect light, say .510, then he just gave the other guy over a half second advantage. dont try and talk to me like i dont know what the fuck im talking about, ive been drag racing competitively for quite a while. ive seen more races then i can count that were won on the tree. fucking idiot. ---

No shit But running low 9s and getting beat by a stock s2000 when you should be running low-mid 7s you could sleep at the light for a couple sec The only thing he should be working on is launch and then worry about getting a .500 reaction so yes get him cutting .500s and running 9s and still getting destroyed by much slower cars because the launch and driving sucks is very practical ---

It depends if you’re racing to beat the guy next to you, or if you’re racing to get the best ET and trap you can. ---

Say he runs 7.30 instead of running 9.0 that is 1.7 sec difference Even if he cuts a 1.0 reaction time he would have still beat the s2000 It’s a lot easier to fix reaction time(not talking about a perfect light but something reasonable) vs launching and driving ---

true, but if you’re racing the guy next to you it isn’t always going to be a slower car, so you need to work on both. ---
