1/4 mile slips?

[OB_Hayawiz]

I've noticed alot of people starting to post there 1/4 slips on line. My problem seem to be ,Where are the "Reaction" times? Maybe just here in california & the NHRA uses them! I was just wondering as when I was 17 yrs old in 1979 I got my Honda CBX took it to the drags & only ran 12.20s then realized it was'nt the bikes fault it was the drivers reaction that screwed it up!

Reaction Times do not effect your ET, You could red light, or you could wait 5 minutes after the green light before you leave and your ET would be the same. The timing system clock does not start until you leave the staging beam.
