Im a bit confused about how reaction time has anything to do with your 1/4 mile time at all. Say you have a 1 second reaction time, and a 13 second pass, with a perfect rt' would that mean a 12 second pass?

 

Nope .
Your run doesn't start until you move..hence reaction time .The et is the time you trip the start light to the finish light.

 

^^^What he said.

There is zero relation between ET and RT. You could have a 15 second light and still run a 13 second pass.... Although if you have a 15 second light you have bigger problems

 

Reaction time has no effect on your elapsed time. However if say both cars are running 13.00 and one cuts a .050 light to the other's .100 light, one will arrive .050 seconds sooner at the finish line.

And that is refered to as a holeshot win and why some people with slower cars are able to win a race. With that said is there a 9sec car with a 2sec reaction time out there

 

At least one in every crowd.

And that's why I still love bracket racing Reaction time is the great equalizer!

I second that
