Epping Redlights and rollout change?

Thanks, so I get this straight, if the height of the stage beam is a bit lower? it will decrease reaction times and vice versa if a bit higher? Hadn't really thought about this before sort of explains track to track uniqueness, with shallow staging all other things being the same. How level the beam is would be important too.
