Ok it is like this..

He can run a slower quarter mile time because he left before you did (thus the lower R/T). If you run a 14.5 with a 1.0 R/T that means he could run a 15.0 with a .500 R/T and effectively cross the line at the same time that you did. Because your R/T does not affect your 1/4 mile time you can still be beaten to the line by a slower 1/4 mile time. Also if you are bracket racing he is going to beat you to the line if he runs closer to his dial-in than you do, this is the only time your R/T means anything really..
