Default Re: Getting consistent RT's

Hey Tony your reaction times will vary depending on numerous different factors.
What i have found is staging of the car is critical to being consistant as well launch rpm. If these two things arent the same the reaction time and e/t will be all over the map. If you go in first and put the pre-stage light on you will have more time to stage accurately and control launch rpm. There are some racers such as Dan Fletcher who are up on the convertor when staging to make the car more consistant by preloading the chassis . Some guys like to wear blinders so their is no anticipation of the light. Reaction times will vary of course under overcast sky versus the sun shinning of the tree. Good luck and keep practicing
