Here's how it works: You pull up to the start line, and you go forward to
light up the "pre-stage" light then the "stage" light. Once both cars have
done this, the starter dude clicks his button. The yellow lights go on and
off down the tree in sequence, .1 seconds apart. The 5th light is the green
light. So, If you get a .500 reaction time, that's perfect (exactly when
the green light comes on). If you go before this, you get a red light and
lose.
Have fun!
