Inconsistent reaction times
 
I am having problems with consistency ,Car is stopped as soon as the bulb is on (same place every time) I practice daily in car with an estimated rollout value , The problem I am having is that my reaction times are varying way too much at the track , it`s not the driver , not this time , lol , there is something going on with the car . I have looked into the transbrake , button issues ect. Tires and 60` times are good too. I have been leaning towards the fact that I have too much travel in the front end (5inches) Is it possible that this could be my problem ?

It's always easier on the practice tree. No distractions. Older makes it worse.

Thanks Ed , Was curios if more travel would affect consistency ? seems like dragsters are more consisntent , due to the fact that they have no or little front suspension movement ? Anybody ???

Wasn't being disrespectful, I've just noticed that as we get older OUR reaction times get inconsistent, especially at night when we react to light differently.

One of the things I adjust for different conditions is front end travel. I can't tell it makes any difference in reaction time consistency. Seems more driver-to-driver. Some guys are just better. I'm not one of them.
