most, but not all tracks here use the Cross Talk feature. With that, it doesn't matter if your opponents tree is blocked or not, your top light will flash on at the same time as his does and it hang there lit up on your side until the proper time for it to start to count down depending on the ET difference of the two cars. In this case you would put in two setting in your delay box; First, your ET and your oppontent's ET, and secondly your delay, and go off your top bulb. The delay box calculates the difference between dials plus adds your delay setting.
If you don't have Cross Talk, and his tree is blocked, your tree will just count down at the appropriate time, then all you need to do is just put in your delay setting and go off the first flash of your top bulb. (do not put in the ET's, leave them at 0.) Using this method, you could use this same process, it doesn't matter whether you are the slower or faster car, cause you are not calculating any ET difference, only the delay from top bulb to green.
