Reaction time?
At Houston Raceway Park, with the sportsman tree, .5000 is a perfect RT. Some other tracks call a .000 a perfect RT. How is the .5000 second RT measured? Thanks for any info.

hope this helps
hope it helps, dont kno if its all right but its stuff ive learned here and there
Once both vehicles are staged, the "tree" is activated and the first amber colored bulbs on both sides of the tree light up. Then ½ second later the next amber bulb lights up while the first amber bulb goes out. Another ½ second later the last amber bulb lights up. And one-half second later the green bulb lights up signaling the drivers to start the race. the tree counts down at .500 second (five tenths) intervals. The reaction time announced is the time that the vehicle took to move off of the starting line compared to when the last amber bulb lit up. |
Thanks GoPed2009
That's what I thought, but couldn't figure out why it didn't go from green on for the time?. I guess they need a positive number, right?

Actually, reaction time is measured from the green light. The reaction timer starts when the green light comes on and stops when the car leaves the starting line. Nhra started using a new system this year that still measures reaction time in the same manner, it just uses .000 as a perfect light.

Maybe Im right Maybe Im wrong
The Tree was a Mistery Too
But what I was Told was that from the Red "Holding stage" after the "Lights Drop" from .750-.250 The .250 Is Old school Because its a 1/4 second Like 1/4 Mile. Make sure you Listen to the car Next to you if you Didnt Look at Her Tail Skirt For Duals and Listen for the loop at Idle and the Rev You May Be playing with Fire.
