better than my 1st run where I just spun in the jetta, my last run I got a 2.3XX so for a car with only 115hp what he got isnt that bad.

His short times were 2.6's.

my times with the stang were pretty bad as well. Nobody is a good driver to start with. It definately takes practice.

.4 and .5 reaction times are not very good when .000 is perfect, lol. And getting a good reaction time is important in any form of drag racing, bracket or heads up.

Yeah, with those times.......he had to have been waiting until he saw green, maybe even a shade later. Lauching right after the the last yellow usually nets me a .507-.570(on a .500 light), which is a pretty wide comfort zone for me. The only confusing part is remembering when to leave depending on what vehicle I'm driving. The truck with the big stall is way different that the stock ss.

Yeah. You have to leave as the bottem yellow is going off or you'll sure be snozzing, even in a fast reacting car.

A slow car now, you have to go for it as soon as the light comes on, if not on the 2nd yellow.
