I never knew that reaction time wasn't calculated into the total time! Oh well, maybe I would have found that out if I'd drag'd more than once. I guess reaction time only counts when you bet the guy next to you who would cross the finish line first! I just copied those ETs from the NHRA site, and if you take the high and low of the coversion rates, you get a high of 1.590909 and a low of 1.530278 which tells us 2 things:

1. There is a difference of .48 seconds ET between the hi/lo conversion rate on a car that does the 1/8 mile in 8 seconds, and

2. I have too much free time!
