So your saying if flujoke's reaction time is a full second he's still going to hit 13.2????

Yes, you can sit there as long as you want after the light goes green. It will add time to your reaction time but your 1/4 mile timing doesn't start until your car moves forward.

Maybe next year when GLD is open we can meet up. I went on 11-9 and it was fun.

I got my car on 7-29 and went to GLD on 9-2,10-6,10-19,11-3. I only saw another Z there once and it was a highly modified 84 turbo from Chicago that ran 13.0@115. So now it will be a few winter months without the Z to decide on Motordyne ART test pipes and back to the strip, or maybe just leave it alone and try a road course track day. USAir in Shawano might be a good track to start out on.

Very True....Reaction time only matters if you are racing an opponent and want to be the first across the 1/4 mile....However IMO Drag Racing is really all about racing and beating yourself to achieve your best time......
