understandable .  was just thinking that a better reaction could drop you down to 10's then again im not saying you have a bad reaction time. I dont even have an idea of what it is . I've got a really bad reaction , just need a little more practice.

  reastion times have nothing to do with your et. the clocks dont start timing until your front tires move out of the beams.    however if you are looking for a good et number you can stage as shallow as possible and use a taller front tire, this lets you get the car moving a tad more before you start the clocks. 

   im sure the magical number will come this fall in some good air

Great Video! Nothing like a sweet launch of a Charger. 10's are right around the corner.
