Re: Reaction Time (Sweet98)
I believe it has something to do with the kind of tree used at the track. I think a .5 is best at a pro tree track where a .00 is best when other.
Hopefully someone with the real answer will chime in soon.

Re: Reaction Time (Sweet98)
Why is .500 considered perfect time? I thought the closer to 0 , the better. My best was .2xx. Can someone explain.

Re: Reaction Time (Korreck)
DEPENDS ON THE TREE.
Recently at Firebird raceway they began counting from 0 when the light goes green. Therefore it was possible to have a negative number showing a red light.
On a pro tree, .400 is a perfect light
On a non-pro tree .500 is considered a perfect light.

So a .500 on one track is the same as .000 on another as long as we're talking about the same tree....pro (.400) or street (.500) :D :cheers:

Re: Reaction Time (Mean Blue Z02)
I think you count up for strokes over par. And on a pro tree you get all the yellows at once and then green. A perfect light on a pro tree is .400.

Depends on how's it being scored, hence my reply.
