where is st. clairsville? i live in ohio and ive never heard of that place.

[slowrb20]

i live in dayton

[USMCgetsome]

baby jesus that guy with the 2nd gen eclipse was bouncing off that rev limiter. man that's a lil scarry. can't you blow your motor like that?

[slowrb20]

the rev limiter is there so you dont blow your engine up. hence the name REV LIMITER.

that 2nd gen runs 11s in a 1/4 mile

and dayton is about 3 hours away i believe.

[Yellow4g63]

sounds like a staging revlimiter to me and not the real revlimiter.

[slowrb20]

if he was referring to at the starting line that was his stutter box.

[Yellow4g63]

What was your 1/8th mile time and trap speed?

[slowrb20]

my quickest time at the 8th mile was at 10psi

reaction- .920 terrible60ft-1.976 no traction8th mile ET-8.6658th mile MPH-82.54

my quickest time of june 8th was at 15psireaction-.687 better60ft-2.283 spinning8th mile et-8.886 still spinning8th mile MPH-85.47 more spinning

i dont understand why my reaction time was better and at 15-si my 60ft was slower. the only thing i can think is im spinning so much more at 15 than at 10. any ideas?

[ANVIL]

im pretty sure the reaction time doesnt add to your et. its just a timer for when u first get off the line.

like if u sat there for 10 sec u can still run 8 sec 1/8

i never ran at an 1/8 mile those, man that seems way to short

[Yellow4g63]

Your right, reaction time is just when you trip the lights. It has no impact on your ET.

[slowrb20]

wrong.. you win or lose at the light.

your time starts as soon as the light comes down.

you can run a faster time than someone and still lose if they got the whole shot..

[Yellow4g63]

That is false you dont always win or lose it at the light. Only time that happens if your both equal in power and no body messes up. If I line up with a 93 honda civic DX and it 100% stock and he cuts a better light than me he isn't going to win lol. Not unless the earth opens up and swallows my car and time and space itself stops after it happens.

[slowrb20]

lol i like that analogy... but MOST races are won at the light. in that scenario obviously only god could help the civic.

sorry for making that much foa bold statement but i have the time slips to prove that the reaction contributes to the et.

[s13point5]

seriously tho, reaction time has no impact on your ET. you can sit at the light for 3 mins after the light hits green and then launch. if you go down the track at 12.89988979768978 then your time will be 12.89988979768978 regardless of your reaction time.

I need to get me a measuring device that takes me to the 100th Trillion place.

[WhatsADSM]

reaction time makes no difference in ET. The time starts after the small (few inch) roll out. I.e. the time starts once your tires move.

JDM mad tyte G-tech y0!

[Shocker]

[slowrb20]

i was under the impression that the time starts when the light turns green.

you guys are reading to much into it. for one you wouldnt sit at the light for 3 minutes.

two. when the light turns green you launch.

if it takes you 1 second to move and you run 12.8what would you of ran if it took you .500 to move?

you really dont get it do you? i said 3 mins as a joke/proving a point. your time starts as soon as you roll pass the starting line. it DOES NOT start when the light turns green. if you run 12.8 if you waited a second to move, then you would still run 12.8 if you cut a .500 light. listen to us when we tell you the reaction time means NOTHING when it comes to your ET. whenever im at the track, if im lined up with my buddy then i will try to cut a good light because im racing heads up with him. if im just at the track to get times then i will sit at the light even after it turns green and make sure i concentrate on a perfect launch. hell when i had the 2step on my old civic, i didnt hit 2step till after the other car left so i could concentrate on my line and my driving.

[WhatsADSM]

Slowrb20.

If you don't believe us do this:

next time you are at the track after you see the lights turn green... sit there and DO NOT MOVE and count for 5 seconds. Then launch and go. Watch your times will be exactly what they used to be, and your 60's will be right where they normally are (as opposed to 5 seconds slower).

Trust me you are incorrect. The clocks do not start when the light turns green, they start once you roll.

**EDIT:http://www.nhra.com/basics/index.html"Both lanes are timed independently of one another, and the clock does not start until the vehicle actually moves."**

[slowrb20]

you guys were right. i apoligize. lol

everyones wrong once in a while haha

The timer only starts once your front tires leave the starting line and the Stage beam is re-connected. It does NOT start when the green light comes on. Because of this, reaction time does not in anyway effect your ET. To repeat that, the R/T timer stops when the Stage beam re-connects and the ET timer starts when it re-connects....never the two shall meet

this answered it all lol ^
