    "Also: R/T makes no difference on ET's at all...you could sit at the light for a minute and still run a 14 second pass."

    I know that and I know why. But, I never race at the track. So tell me this. Don't a lot of guys screw their launch hurrying to get away from the line as soon as the light turns. Is it more important getting across the line first or getting the lower et?

    when it comes to racing the other guy yeah reaction time is important, especially when it is bracket racing, but just racing yourself and trying to improve your 60ft for practice yeah i wouldnt worry about it
