Let see if I can set this thing up correctly

If you have breakfast lunch and dinner <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> on the starting line at least you have chance to win the race.

At least you have a chance if you cut a bad reaction time.

The counter doesn't even start until you cross the starting line, so only your reaction time will suffer.

The clock doesn't start till you break the beams.

Always better to be late than red... Neither will do you a lot of good trying to go rounds, though...

Hey George I think you and I have both seen enough gifts in bracket racing to know it's always better to be GREEN than .499 red. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Case in point: super stock eliminator a few nhra races ago, after 7 rounds Harvey Emmons breaks right off the line with a 615 reaction time and an 11.05 dial, and his opponent goes 478 red chasing with a 9.78 dial. Humiliating to be pushed back into the winner's circle? Maybe, but he still got the wally and all the $$$.

Either way you should lose.

At least with a red light you showed that you tried. With a 'sleeper' light you are hoping that the other guy is as slow as you at the light, he will red light, or will brake-out.

But I'd still rather be a 'little' late than red. I have hole-shot a lot of 9 second cars in bracket racing
