Default Reaction Times.

Alright, I've managed to give myself a mind****. I want to start bracket racing at some point as it's the only thing either of my cars would be able to compete in. So I've been reading a lot on the subject ect. Now in my past trips to the track I've always been worried about ET's not reaction times.

My understanding, generally .500 = perfect. LED tree = .000 correct ?

Now perhaps I've put too much thought into this and confused myself when it's right in front of my face. Now I thought the tree at my track was LED

Most of my lights are .3xxx

However I'd relighted twice, once on a .0409 and a .0101 yet my .0687 run was clean, yet I've raced numerous people who have cut .03xxx, .0031 and no redlight there

Slips say .500 full tree.


So, am I blind or retarded ? Possibly both ???

This at Milan? I had always figured for TNT runs the perfect RT would be .500, and then the actual RT would vary with a negative on the slip for a red light pass.

I thought it would be just that simple. Does the slip indicate a red light anywhere else on your red light passes?

A perfect pass would be a .0000 RT on the slip (ignore the .500 I mentioned before...not sure what happened lul). Notice the foul slips have negatives while the others have a positive sign?

I never payed attention to the + / - which would be why I confused myself. I'm trying to look over my slips from when i first started going out to the end of last season and see the difference and I'm like wtfbbq R/T's

.000 became a perfect light a few years ago because people who were new to the sport couldn't figure out the .500 perfect light. Now I think that its just the tracks with the older timing systems that are .500. IHRA started this if memory serves me right. I think the NHRA is still .500, Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.
