Excuse me if im wrong, but isnt that a wai?

yes, that is a warm air intake (not cold)

your reaction time was over a second. were you not even looking at the lights. thats really slow.

T&T aint about R/T's it's about E/T's!!!!

Hmm maybe he doesnt know that if you start the acceleration-from-the-line process at the yellow light just before the green, then would get amuch faster time. Considering how no one can move fast enough to get their car to go before the change from the yellow to the green, theres a pretty safe chance he wont red light it. Just comes with experience you know.

0.59 rt here. Go on the last yellow. But unless your bracket racing it don't matter

soo your saying noshun that i will get the same 1/4 mile time if i sit there for 5 seconds or i go after .59 seconds. i dont think so. if you start faster you get to the end faster. unless of course in the case of the tortoise and the hare. even still over a second is God awfully slow. i would definitly work on that.

yes 100% try it if are not a believer. Test & Tune you could sit there for 15 minutes and still run the same as with a good reaction time. it's a reaction time and the only time you run begins is when you break the light beam at the start. I've done it many times and test and tune is finding out what works best with your car not what your reaction time is.

Like I said try it and you will see that I am 100% correct

Dave is right about this, when i first went to the track is when i found out about it myself.
