Default Re: What is your worst reaction time

My worst reaction time was at Gate Way International in the final round when my partner/crew chief came up to me, opened the door and said..."Whatever you do, don't red light" then slammed the door shut. Need I say more? lol I would have rather taken runner up with a red than runner up watching the grass grow "green".

Floyd, it only matters what kind of light you cut, and how close you can run on your dial. It does'nt matter who is in the other lane, if you can do the above, things will turn out OK, and if you get beat, then your opponent did a better job.

I was racing a faster car one time and on the hit of the gas the car backfired out of the carb and took about 1.5 sec to break the beams, the other driver drove out the back door and broke out boy were they pissed.

my great driving skills won that won lol

This year at Norwalk I was hot on the tree during qualifying. First round had a.023 light not to bad. second round a .032 decent enough. Third round a Brain fart .289. Yes I wrote it correctly.
I Picked a bad time to glance at the oil pressure. Ahhhh Duuuhhhh. And to make things worse I ran 9 thou over my Dial, and a light somewhere in the .060-.070 range would have won me the race. Bahhh oh well we all have our moments.

this is funny,,,,i was trying a blinder ,,(kept going red) ,,works great if you are the first car leaving ,but if you are chasing ,different story had a .250 light wasnt even in the same zip code,,couldnt get with in 2 car lenghts ,,,didnt even look at the time slip when i took it from the shack,,,looked at the numbers back at the pits and was real upset ,,,double breakout ,,,if i tossed i the towel before the run i would have got the round ,,,,,gmonde
