These times cant be true...

The computer is likely timing these things the moment it picks up velocity. Takes out the reaction time of a driver

The dragstrip counter doesn't start either until you start moving. You can sit there with a green light for 30 seconds before your ET starts counting. You'll lose the race, but you'll still get an accurate timeslip.
