Straight from WSID INTERNATIONAL dragway. When the starter is satisfied both cars are in stage he presses a button which activates a countdown of the three amber lights (each four-tenths of a second apart), and then the green. If you move before the green, remember that foul light – but don’t be tardy because if your opponent gets away from the start line before you, he has an advantage which you will have to overcome if you are to beat him to the finish line. Your response time to the green light, or reaction time, will instantly appear on the scoreboard in your lane. If you want the quickest reaction time, the best advice is to stand on the throttle as soon as you see the last amber light because by the time you’ve reacted and your car has responded, the green light will just be coming on. Cash prizemoney will be handed out at each event for the three quickest reaction times before 9pm. Also a cash pool will be added to at each meeting and will be given to the first perfect reaction time. A “perfect reaction time” is .000.
