At some tracks perfect on a sportsman tree is 0.500. It all depends on the way they display the board and print the time slips.

Reaction time on a sportsman tree is .500 pro tree is .400, but on either tree a perfect reaction time will be displayed as .000 on your slip. In other words on a pro tree .000 means you are dead on .400 reaction time. Another way to say it is what is on your slip is how much you are over or under the perfect reaction time for a given tree.

AHHHH i see... so a .60XX really isnt that good of a reaction...?

Heh, nope. That means you actuall reacted 6 tenths slower than a perfect light.

A good reaction time is .1xx or .0xx

damn i guess i better gas it earlier hahaa. when do people typically mash the throttle... i was trying to figure it out without red lighting. but obviosly im slow haha. so in essence. if you could hit a perfect light i would pick up 6/10's of a second??? obviously i wont but... im just sayin.

I usally nail it when the last amber lights, I usually cut .1xx reaction, but sometimes I redlight. So by no means am I perfect.

so as the last amber lights you nail it? WOW no wonder im so damn bad lol i was hitting it much beyond that haha. **** the light was probably green by the time i hit it. but again i dont know the rules of how it works so this should help haha.

Actually no, You will not pick up anything on your E.T. Reaction time has nothing to do with your quarter mile time. However getting your reaction time down will get you the win light more often. If you think about it this way, if you are leaving 6 tenths behind the other lane you will have to run at least 6 tenths faster to even tie him to the finish line, not that this will affect your E.T., but it will affect the outcome of the race. The timer does not start until your front wheels leave the staged beams and stops when you break the beams at the quarter.

In other words if the person you are racing cuts a .0xx light you would have to beat there elapsed time by 6 tenths to get the win light. That is why in heads up racing such as top fuel you will hear them say "hole shot win" this means the winning racer had a slower E.T. but since they cut a better light they crossed the finish line first.
