You can sit at the tree for 10 seconds, and as long as your car doesn't move, your reaction time will go up to 10.0, but if you run the 1/4 mile in 14 flat, you will still have a 14 flat 1/4 mile.
Your reaction time is counted from when the green light comes on, until your tire moves away from the staging beam.
The 1/4 mile time (E/T) is counted from the time that your tire moves from the staging beam, until it crosses the beam that goes across the finish line.
