What is your worst reaction time - Page 2

Thought I would add a little bit of fun as I seen someone mention a bad light in another post. A freind of mine wanted me to run his car at a bracket event. He wanted to see if the car reacted the same way with another driver. This is the first time I had ever been in an electronics car(trans brake and such). He went through the spill and I was ready to go(of course I was sure, um hum, I got it, lets go). I looked over and saw the delay timer and (yes I was that stupid) thought it was some sort of device that would control my ET. Like an idiot I hit the first little button and I got it to 5. I thought to myself "Hell yes. I want to go as fast as it will go and I know it don't run 5's. Never been faster than my 11 sec bracket car". I did my burnout and staged. I hit the transbrake button and waited on the bottom yellow released the button at full throttle banging the chip and nothing. I started looking around and was looking down at the shifter and bang. Car took off like a fat man waiting to eat at Ryans. My reaction time was 5.036 and I walked around looking to my right for several days.
