reaction time

Does the reaction time have a direct effect on your ETs? Or does the clock start when u break the beam?

Axle/Gears: Ford 9"/31 spline spool/4.86
A .5 "full tree" that has the 3 yellow lights come down one at a time has no effect on ET. The timer starts when you break the beam. You can sit at the lights for 10 seconds and still run the same ET.

A .4 "pro tree" that has all 3 yellow lights come on at once starts the timer as soon as the green light comes on.
