damonzex Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 sorry for bein a complete noob, but here goes. Let's say I run a 15.2 and another car I'm racing runs a 14.8, but I cross the 1/4 mile mark before he does. How is this possible? Btw, his 60 ft. was faster than mine. Thanks.

Duff1647545513 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 You had a better reaction time, the timing for the run itsself doesnt start until you leave the start line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5.7 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Did you run a 15.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I agree with Greg, the real question is...did the magic happen?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonzex Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 well i didn't run, im posting for a friend who ran, and yeah he ran a 15.2.. anyway I thought thats how it worked but he said the times started when the light went green, so just figured i'd save the argument and ask. Thanks for the replies. best time was 14.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 The timer doesn't start until you roll out of the staging beams.... Your "package" is a combo of reaction time and ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
