What is your worst reaction time

Ryan Horensky · 04-08-2010, 08:48 AM

In 1997,when I was 16, I was racing in the high school class at Numidia Dragway. I was racing an 1989 5.0L Mustang at the time that went 14.90's.The track had one high school race a season to decide who went to bracket finals. During second round the sun got so bright that it didn't even look like the tree was coming down and it was. I didn't pick up on the 3rd yellow until it was almost turning green. I don't remember how bad the light was, but it was def a 4 digit one. The funny part was when we got to the 1/8th mile the scoreboards started flickering and we only had numbers to the 1/8th mile when we got our time slips. The guy I raced was .050 on the tree and I had a 4 digit light. They brought us bad to the lanes for a re-run and I won. I still feel bad for that guy almost 13 years later!
