in a heads up race, car number 5 versus car number 7. car number 7 wins because car number 7 got their first.

how ? reaction time !

car 7 - .193
car 5 - .300

i had the reverse happen to me in a grudge match a few days back. we were equally matched but his reaction time was better than me and he whipped me 2 out of 2. the sad fact to the matter was he could cut a light better than me !

in equally matched cars its very hard to make up that initial head start the person with the better reaction time has. so when you got that jump on him . he wasnt fast enough to beat you to the finish line even though he went from point A to B faster than you did ..!

p.s. shogun give me a 2.2 or 2.1 60 foot !

Thats what I am trying to work on. The 60 foot thing. How do you take off. I just rev to 1.5k and then let off clutch and give gas. I dont really spin this way but it is boggy.
