Are you hooked yet? If you are looking at the racing schedule,
wondering how to sneak out of coming family obligations to go
racing you're a gonner man!!
Just kidding. On the reaction time; it does not imact your elapse time.
The time it take from the green light to your rolling out of the starting line
beam, is your reaction time.
The ET clock does not start until you roll out of the starting line beam.
If you are just making time runs to better your time slip, concentrate
on other aspects like getting away clean without much tire spin..
If you plan on making through eliminations, then worry about the R.T.
Congrats, it sounds like youd be where you want with a little more traction.
