Another Track Question - 5/15/2008 12:44:20 PM    99GTvert Team MF Member #999 Posts: 3222 Joined: 5/27/2006 From: no Status: offline The reaction time has NO effect on the ET/Trap speed, right?  I was talking with some guys, and they said that if you leave early, you add whatever time you left early on to the ET to get the real ET.  Example: I made a 16.5 pass, but I jumped the light by one second...so my real ET is 17.5?  Sometimes I just can't believe what I hear from some people... _____________________________ ORIGINAL: MustangMan628 V-6 is for real drivers.

They said the clock starts when the light goes green. _____________________________ ORIGINAL: MustangMan628 V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car.

I ran 13.8 but left a second late, which  means I went 12.8. Nice. _____________________________ Hopefully running by the weekend. Gonna run her good too! (in reply to 99GTvert) Post #: 4

Yeah, but if you left one second early and ran a 13.8, it would have only been a 14.8 ........ _____________________________ ORIGINAL: MustangMan628 V-6 is for real drivers.

Just to f with them, sit at the line for a full 6 seconds after the light goes green. Then when you run 16.5, you can show those tards that you're really running mid 10s. _____________________________ 2002 Camaro Z28 Automatic, stock converter, 2.73 gears Airbox lid, longtube headers, catless Y-pipe, cutout, Nitto drag radials 12.72 @ 108.62 1.93 60 ft (in reply to 99GTvert) Post #: 6
