nearly trev,
you may have a slower car than you competitor, but you launched first giving you a headstart on your sleepy friend next door.
He's now catching you and past the 8th say, he's almost reeled you in, you click the beams at the end of the quarter first and have run say a 13.88, your friend next door has run a 13.2, but because he was eyeballing the "momentum motorsport" crew sluts on the sidelines he forgot to check the green light, thus you pipped him at the post, so thats where your reaction time wins or loses you a race, it does not however have any effect on the elapsed time of your run.
my best run was
13.82 @94.6
reaction was 0.271
60 ft 1.992 sec
the guy in the other lane ran 14.224 @ 105.21 (more than 10mph quicker thru the traps)
reaction. 0.414
60 ft (this is where i beat him) 2.413 sec.
Hope that helps, as I've confused myself now.
