Get rid of 1k readings

If it were in my power, I would base the factoring off of 1/8 mile ET's and eliminate reaction times. Reaction times serve an important role though and that is for a racer to see and do the math on how he won or lost. Although it's possible to dump before the 1/8 mile, it would produce erratic results IMO, Paul.

I'm with Dan! I've thought that for a long time but didn't have the nerve to say it. LOL!

100% with Dan, I have been saying this for years, believe it or not i was racing before RT's and back then you knew if you got a light or not, you didn't need the ticket to scare you. At nat trails we paid $1 for RT's the first year.

Best line I ever heard about RT's was from my father, he said
"RT's made the good drivers back in the day back off and the bad drivers step way up"
