does reaction time affect your 1/4 mile time? Or does it only show you how long it took you to get off the line?

On every track I have gone down it doesn't. You could sit for half an hour and still run a 14 sec 1/4. However, not all of them do that. Houston has a total time at the bottom of the slip, or they did. It has been sometime since I ran there.

RT only matters when you're racing. It does affect who gets the win light, but doesn't get reflected in your total 1/4 time.

Glad someone asked this because I always wondered about it too.
