Okay, I'm a amature, but how would you R/T help your 60'? The time doesn't start until after you leave, right?

Leave a little bit before the light and shave even more time.

Correct. The starting line beam is about 12 inches in front of the “staged” position. Your car has a rolling start of about 12 inches before the reaction timer stops, and the ET timer begins.

Oh, how's that track? I've always always heard good things about HRP, but never anything about the SAR.

I go to the one in Ennis. It's about 120 miles away from where I live. The prep is usually not that great, but it has its nights.
