From your time slip it dont give any information like your 60' or 1/8 ET or MPH so its hard to tell how well you launched..
Your reaction time will have NO effect on your ET or MPH

Re: drag strip (GhostOfFreedom)
With the two reaction times on your slip, I'm guessing that, .000 is a perfect light on your tracks system. Either that or your opponent red lit worse than you did. The rest of the missing data looks like, first of the season "bugs", in the timing equipment. Based on past experience, I only hope RMR is that well prepared on April 12th, our first T&T. Good luck, and...

I agree. I take it the reaction time of .278 is .278 over a .500 light? So it would be a .778 light? How about the guy he raced running a 13.995 @ 2.872 MPH :D.
