What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

have you ever watched an actual drag race? just because R/T is not factored into overall E/T it is most def. a HUGE factor is determining who won the race. if there was no point in having R/T you would never see two cars line up because it wouldnt matter who got to the line first. a racer's overall time to run a race is computer by adding R/T and E/T, whoever is the lower of the two is going to win.

Exactly!
First to the end wins, it's not about e.t.
It's like those guys who roll-race...
A good driver can do it all.
Nice reaction time to the poster, very well done.

Well if u take a secound to react and the other guy get a perfect reaction time then u have to make up a second which isn't an easy task unless you have a faster car or the other guy misses a gear.

You got lucky and you know it Good job tho my best ever was .502 on a .500 tree but it was luck. My more consistant numbers are .510-.520s . I love a protree because its hard to anticipate, you have just got to be quick off of the yellows.

Hy Guys,

Ok to the one that said that .000 is a pro tree, thats not treu, cuz a pro tree is .400. Sportsman tree are .500 or .000.

And second there are a lot of guys who say they have perfect RT's but I dont see any evidence!! So I think they have to put their timeslip because everyone can just lie.

Ok my best RT are .032 .040 .061

Here are the links with the evidence:

http://www.dragtimes.com/Chevrolet-C...lip-13280.html

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2932011

I think those will prove it!!

dude you can have .000 on either type, it just depends on the track. we used to use a .4 for pro and .5 for sportsman, now they are both .000
