They arent bad for a DD tire but a high HP car just shows their weakness.

I've seen that car go 13.18 before....

Also at Chandler I hit a .0000 and a .0899 light.. Not to bad on my reaction. But I've been to the track a time or 2 lol.

Reaction doesnt count for crap really. You could sit at the light for 5 seconds and then go and your run would still be a 13.6.

Last time down to BG, I sat for about 2 seconds trying to get the revs right and got a 13.3 on the run. lol

I see where your coming from. But instead of bashing me about my reaction times. Saying they dont mean crap. You coulda snuck a "good job" in there.

I think he was referring to Austin's post. But that's a damn good r/t though!

Appreciate it. It was the first time I tried "staging deep". Seemed to work well with the skinnies up front.

Yea, I wasnt talking to you Aaron.

I personally dont like staging too deep. Ive got a few red lights by doing it so usually I will trip the second bulbs and then creep forward about 4". Works best for the G8 with its tiny stall.

Stock verters are all GM's auto cars fatal flaw. I should've have swapped mine years ago.

If you are actually racing someone reaction time means a hell of a lot!

Reaction time is a big deal but most of the guys I know only care about there ET. I can't remember the last time I had a conversation about someone's reaction time. I never race the guy beside me so it wasn't something I personally worried about.

In that case then it doesn't matter except for personal reasons. I am always trying to get better. I also plan on running in a class at some point (no electronics) so I always try to get better.

Made a first few passes and won 2 rounds at Chandler last night. 9.99 sec @ 69.13 . Best r/t was .2 something(on the 9.99 run). Got video of me making that run. Cant wait to improve that time.

I saw a white convertible LS1 SS this weekend on First Ave. I'd never seen the car. It looks nice.
