Default Another Track Question

The reaction time has NO effect on the ET/Trap speed, right?

I was talking with some guys, and they said that if you leave early, you add whatever time you left early on to the ET to get the real ET.

Example: I made a 16.5 pass, but I jumped the light by one second...so my real ET is 17.5? Sometimes I just can't believe what I hear from some people...[&o]

true the RT has nothing to do with ET...it is how fast you react to the light

Thanks for the confirmation. I had someone tell me my 13.5 pass was really a 13.6 because I left a tenth early, meaning it wasn't a real 13.5 pass blah blah blah what the ****. They said the clock starts when the light goes green. [:@][:@][:@][:@]

So if I leave late, I gain that much time right?

I ran 13.8 but left a second late, which means I went 12.8.

Nice.

Yeah, but if you left one second early and ran a 13.8, it would have only been a 14.8 ........ [:@]

Stop hanging around those people.
Just to f with them, sit at the line for a full 6 seconds after the light goes green. Then when you run 16.5, you can show those tards that you're really running mid 10s.[8D]

I think i'll leave before the Stage light comes on, because that should be like a 9 second pass, right? Assuming the timing system even starts...
