Sam, I think the various times come from varying weather and altitude
differences more then the driver. No matter what you're reaction time,
your E.T. is still measured from the time your tires trip the lights,
not the tree going green. You may loose a race because of being "Late"
but E.T's shouldn't vary unless you lifted the throttle sometime between
Green and the trap lights.As far as rocket science, I referred to auto
trans., no missed shifts, just stab the throttle and steer it straight.
As far as the #*#*# goes, the way the post was written ....maybe the
driver? Seemed to have no other value than to provoke me. Doing so, I
think I handeled it well for me. No real curseing and short to the
point. All in all, no harm done, just good ol bench racin! Alan S.

He said what he said to provoke a response, and he got one. No big deal.
I've raced on the street since I've had a license. Most of the R/T's
losses have begun at a stoplight, it wins off the line handily, but as I
said, after 2nd plays out, other faster cars, such as the ones outlined
in my post, pull away. No driver error there, only a horsepower
horsepower deficiency. Alan s.

Alan:
Over the past couple of days there has been much talk about drag strip times. Could you explain to me (a non drag racer) as it is 'not rocket science' how different owners can get different times from the same stock R/T?
The only difference, as it appears to me (pls. explain if otherwise) is the driver.
This post is not intented to provoke a 'Fzck Off Big Mouth' from you, but to get and understanding of why different drivers can get different times if driver skill has no bearing on it.
If someone else knows, please join in. Thank you.
