.5 sec head start basically

So then they deduct reaction from your end time? I wasn't aware of that.

 

[magna19]

No deduction from the time it just took one longer to trip the timer for the I/4 mile time. So basically you would add it to the time before you crossed the finish line.

 

[tRidiot]

Oh so it trips when you cross the start line. I gotcha. Well, then... so crossing the finish line first doesn't mean much, except in your own head, eh? lol

 

[magna19]

In other words If you sit for 5 seconds before you took off you stll ran a 12.86 but it took you 17.86 to get to the finish line

Yes a slower car can when the race. LOL

I don't understand how you won at the finish with a 12.8 and he lost with a 12.4?

Maybe I'm missing something?

This will explain it.
We get the green light then go and first one to the end wins.
That is heads up racing.
If you are bracket racing you dial in an ET and run as close to that without going over.
Racing the clock is not what I do on grudge night. yea his is faster but my finish light came on first.

Video explains it best.


And the grand national I raced ..look at his lights at the end they came on first. he won.

Bracket racing isn’t just line up and mash pedals, def an Art.
