According to some of the regulars at HRP, the reaction time has nothing to
do with the actual 1/4 mile time.

Matt,

If the reaction time related to when he pushed the pedal to metal when the
light turns green? Then if this is so, his true correction for the 1/4 mile
is 15.3.

This past friday I made my first visit to Houston
Raceway Park.....I must say I loved it!!! I had been
paying attention to little visible mods I could do but
now I got bitten by the performance bug. Too bad I
dont have the money for some of your more effective
mods. I decided to run the 1/4 mile and it was
rediculous. I ended up pitted against a dragtser so
needless to say i got smoked. I ran a miserable
16.204.
I was the only dak that I saw but I'm sure there had
to be at least one other.
I guess I expected better but all in all it was a fun
experience. I am not sure what all the numbers mean
but here they are:
   0.921
   2.337
   6.680
   10.311
   67.96
   13.491
   16.204
   82.93
Can anyone tell me what this little bundle of numbers
means???
