<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(motoxlifer @ May 19 2006, 11:58 AM) [snapback]53585[/snapback]</div>During bracket racing, reaction time has everything to do with winning. The slower your reaction time when bracket racing, the slower your overall time on the sheet.I don't think they add your reaction time to your E.T. it's just the simple fact that a .500 light is exactly when the green light comes on(5 tenths of a sec. between each light coming down the tree)so the later that you leave obviously the longer it will take to get to the other end. The timer does not start until you have broken the starting beams, time only or bracket racing eather one it doesn't matter. A pro tree is 4 tenths of a second between all the lights coming on and the green coming on therefore a perfect light for the pros is a .400.

If you run a 13.0sec 1/4 mile and dial in at a 12.99 but your reaction time is .600, I run a 15.00sec with a reaction time is 14.99 and have a reaction time of .500, I win.
They add your reaction time to your 1/4 mile time during competition only.
So guys, when you're at the track, and you're practicing on how to launch, forget about the green light, let it set and take your time, don't worry about the reaction time.
