While I prefer footbrake style racing, there is nobody cutting ".001 - .009 lights on a regular basis", anyway. Someone has already posted average reaction times for a number of 'name' drivers, and they are typically high teen to low twenties range. As well they SHOULD be.

Practice trees are available from a number of sources. I recommend the hand-held unit from Biondo. I keep one with me. If you need help with setup, refer to the Reaction Time Clinic and Practice Tree articles on www.staginglight.com/guide/
Sorry Mike, let me re-phrase what I meant: it's the really quick foot brake lights within a tight range that I can't fathom. Yes, I'm fully aware the value of seat time. But I've been around long enough to know there's nobody that good that often on so many tracks. What's more bizzare is how few of these individuals there are out there.

It would seem possible for me to find some of the variables (i.e. staging habits, weather, rollout, etc.) that could garner consistent .02 - .03 lights. I'm thinking this is after at least 30 -40 passes in the same lane at the same track. But leaving with a button removes many of these variables IMHO.
