steedamustang01 · 10-04-2002, 12:56 PM

I'm a total amature when it comes to the track. I don't really know much about it at all expect for the 1/4 time. So if someone would please help me and explain what the 60 ft. time is ... what is it, what is good, what is bad, ... also the reaction time, ... what is it ... what is good, what is bad, ... and the light time... or is that the same thing as the reaction time? Someone please explain all of this for me. Thanks!!!

Well the 60foot is the frist 60 feet. of your race the least about of time is the best a good drive will get about a 1.9X on street tires Most people get in the 2.1-2.3 Rang tho. Next the reaction times is well just wat it says for the most part the time from when you see green and go but there is about 6in of play in the starting line.. dont worry about that tho what I would do is go on the last or the 2nd light it matters on how you driev and stuff most go on the 2nd yellow tho But I red light alot fom there any how a good time Best time is a .500 or a .400 matters what tree they are racing But it should be a .500 tree for most racing a new guy will get most of the time int he 1.3-.900 But you should beable get a .800-.600 Rang with some work any how.
