My FIRST track experience...

FYI - your reaction time means nothing towards your ET. Once the light goes green, you could sit there for 10 seconds and still pull a 16.08. The clock does not start ticking until your front tires pass the laser on the starting line.

In bracket racing, you will have your ass handed to you unless you get your reaction down to a better number, because you are still racing to see who gets to the end first without breaking out.

Damn. I was hoping for a better answer.

It sucks that the track is so busy. I don't really get to practice. Only got two runs in for the 3 hours I was there. I didn't flip the switch until about 30-35 MPH. Which apparently was too late. I just didn't want to spin my wheels at the start.
