Looks like you won that race. I'm confused. You got a 9.82 and Roof got a 9.87. /images/graemlins/confused /images/graemlins/confusedStyles said:Yes, Roof put me on the trailer (AGAIN!). We both managed our best times of the day.

As you can see it was a CLOSE race. Every time one of us hit a gear that person pulled ahead. Very exciting and congrats to David, he is a class act! I hope to get another shot at him soon. He did get the opportunity to go against Titan who was running 8.70's at 165! Better him than me!
I agree. When I drag race I don't give a shit about reaction time. To me it comes down to which car is faster, so ET is all that matters for me.King GTS said:Looks like you won that race.

That's pure d bullshit IMHO Peter. And I TOTALLY understand EXACTLY what you're saying. I don't factor in no reaction time with ET. It's all about who crosses the finsih line 1st. PERIOD. END OF STORY. If Styles wants to smoke a damn cigarette after Roof leaves the hole, so what. Whoever crosses the finish line 1st wins. PERIOD IMHO.houstonT said:Trey, you have no idea what you're talking about, step back and think about it. Roof left the line 0.1105 seconds before Jason. Jason was 0.529 seconds quicker ET wise, but was still 0.0576 behind at the end of the run. It's simple math Trey, it came down to reaction time, that's where the race was won, at the line.

Unless I'm missing something, Roof DID cross the line first. Reaction time measures how quickly you leave the starting line, and ET doesn't start counting until you leave the beam. So you can have a quicker ET and still lose a heads up race by not getting out of the hole quickly (as happened to Jason here), but you will NOT cross the finish line first. Crossing the line first is exactly how the winner is determined, not ET.In my eyes whoever crosses the line 1st wins the race.
