13.7 and a F#cked clutch!!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Skyzerr, I though reaction times only counted on Pro Drag meets, does that mean with my 1sec reaction time that I should be in the low 13's??(Just Kidding)

See'ya:burnout:

[macka]

Hehe if thats the case then my 13.06 is really .4sec quicker ie 12,6 you rippa!!

any reaction time under 0.400 is a break. its not humanly possible to react faster (scienetiffically proven) so any time under that is taken off your et.

as for legal reaction times, no it doesn't add to your et

[giz01]

but if you red light it shouldn't matter as the timer starts when you break the beams! so if you .1 or 30sec's what does it matter?

[skyzerr33]

no as far as i've been told

when u red light if its less than 0.400 your time is reduced by the amount u broke 0.400

other than that its the time taken between when u break the beam.

[macka]

But i didnt red light it?

Im pretty sure they didnt take time off...

or else i would of gotten a slower time...true?

I think u should clarify this mr moderator!

You gotta be good for something

[skyzerr33]

okay will do

my step dads nephews are scrutineers at the plex and also work on the tree thingy so i'll ask them at xmas k

[macka]

How bout tomorrow for the lads........

Good to see your using moderator lingo as well

[skyzerr33]

cause i want see them till xmas

mod lingo hehe i just tired and can't b phucked typin rightly

I'm pretty sure the 0.400s is the time difference between the lights, and if you are below this, then you have reacted before the green appears, since it hasn't been 0.400s after the previous orange

also we can react quicker than 0.400s since I tried it once at school, with dropping a ruler and measuring the distance it drops to determine your reaction time...worked out quicker than 0.4s

I'll be down there on Wednesday night, so I will ask the officials, just to clarify what the ruling is. I thought the ET stands as is, but I could be wrong, it happened once before.

Hey Macka, want to help me build a drag Capri, I'm sure with $100,000 we could getit into the 13's, what do you reckon? Did I misspell that, is it Capri or Crapi, I forget.:bahaha:

See'ya

you might, but try getting the car to move faster than that its not possible.

imho as an onlooker but someone who reads mags etc.

The reaction time is incorrectly named and should be called anticipation time. As the oranges blink at .400 sec apart and the green is .400 after the last orange then it is possible by counting in your head to leave at the exact time the green comes on.

The *reaction * time is the time taken from the last orange going out. Obviously if it is under .400 then you left before the green.

It is operated by the wheels breaking the staging beam and you have a tiny bit of leeway between pre stage and stage lights.

You can *deep stage * ie. very close to the breakout light which will give a slightly quicker reaction time but run the risk of leaving too soon.

The ET is the time from you breaking the beam and finishing at the end so in theory you could sit at the line after it's gone green for 10secs and still get an ET the same as the guy who left on the green.

A TRUE reaction time is with no warning or any specific timing ( ie like a Touring car race ) the lights would come on while you are at the line.

As a matter of interest, using the old light comes on , press the the buzzer test, guys like Sir Jack Brabham , Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart had reaction times around .200 - .250 secs which prolly explains why they were so damn good.

[PSIKO]

yup, like I said but more detail haha

you can get your car moving at whatever reaction time you want, there is no scientifically proven fact about it...some cars respond differently due to their internals and of course the drivers abilities

like gtrken said, the light is broken as the wheels go past the beam, you can launch it on one light, or both, but the 0.4s is the time between the lights and will only ever register the r.t when the 2nd light is broken

[giz01]

$100 000 to get into 13's? dudes if my crapi had an lsd it would run 13's! my 14.141 was with an open centre!

[Hicks]

:lol: Ha ha, crapi.

I like that.
