It doesn't matter what your reaction time is unless your in competition, you'll still get all the numbers you are looking for. You can work on reaction time later, after you get comfortable at the track. A side note- don't sit in the lights too long or you'll just **** people off.
Thanks for the advice. Friday nights is always test and tune. From what I head that's when the street car crowd shows up. I went on a Saturday and it was mostly hard-core drag racers - very few street cars.
Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean about "don't sit in the lights too long". Can you explain that?
