Drag race question?
My buddy has a built tsx, flash, bigger throttel body, unorthodox pullies and more...
He ran a 14.6 but he red lighted at -0.71 Now he thinks he can take my 03 Z maybe?
My question is when you red light at the tree when drag racing what does that mean for your E/T? do they take that time off or add it?

A red light or break-out is a foul. Had this been a competition race, car #141 (me) is disqualified. The win goes to car #101. ET (elapsed time) is not effected by RT (reaction time).
BTW #101 cut a perfect light: 0.000 seconds.
As stated, a red light won't Affect the ET. A red light won't affect the amount of time it takes between starting the timer (via infrared beam by crossing the starting line) and stopping the timer (via infrared beam by crossing the finish line). A red light just means you crossed the starting line and started the timer too early.

Oman-I doubt your buddy could beat you, but if you gave us his 1/4 mph we could more accurately judge. Im sure its a quick TSX, and could maybe hang with you from a roll, but you should eat him alive from a stop. RWD > FWD

He ran a 14.66 but like I said he redlighted at -0.89
Top speed was 94.8? I think??

His redlight wont affect his ET, if he had a 2 second reaction time or a perfect light it wouldnt matter. If he trapped 94mph I doubt he could beat you...only one way to find out. Record the vid and post for us to see.

+1 Like has been stated before. Tell your friend to learn what hes talking about. Like Alberto said RT has nothing to do with your 1/4 time. You can sit on the line for 10 seconds and only your reaction time will be affected. Your 1/4 time doesnt even start clocking until after your car crosses the start line. And 94 mph is a slow trap
