that's what i though too, .500 is a perfect reaction time, that's how long the pause is between lights, so you leave on the last amber light but don't break the plane until .500 later when the green light hits, anything under that would be a red light, but hey, we're talking about a track that makes you wear a helmet if you run less than a 13 i don't think you have to wear helmets around here until you break in to the 11's.

Last time at the track I was running on 22 inch slicks, but I only had my drag radials this time (Nitto 555r 205/55/14 on HX wheels). The first run I had my tire pressure at 15 psi, but Josh told me to try running 12 psi to help out my 60 foot times. I made sure to do a really good burnout and ended up with a 2.0 60 foot on my best run of 13.4 @ 105 mph.

I was pretty happy with my times tonight considering the last time I was at the track my best run was a 13.3 @ 102 mph with baby slicks. My next track date I am planning on going to the battle of the imports which is the 28th. By then I should have a new set of 24.5 inch slicks and I will also be running more boost so I should easily get into the 12's. I think once I hit 12's on my stock motor I will be done with it. What will I do after that? Built d16z6 and 11's of course... I don't need no stupid DOHC!
if i come up there one te 28th can i use your drag radials, or those old slicks?

its all .500
but when u see .217 or what ever, thats .217 over a perfect light. the tracks here in ohio run the .000 board (=.500) so i cut a .089= .589

its weird, but you get used to it.

I thought under .5XX was red lighted?

thats how much beyond .50 he was...so he had a .719 light as far as i know
