Your reaction time doesn't come into play when calculating your ET. If that was the case, your ET would be based on when the light went green and when you crossed the finishing line. If the light went green, and you sat there motionless for an hour, then decided to take off, your ET is still going to be the amount of time it took to traverse the 1/4 mile starting from the time your car broke the beams at the starting line to the time it broke the beams at the finishing line.
Thank you. Finally someone pointed that out. R/T has nothing to do with your E.T. The only time R/T comes into play is when you are bracket racing or head up racing(similar to street race) where sitting at the light forever will result a loss for you regardless how fast your E.T. is.
Btw, try to launch the car as the 3rd yellow light comes on. That will give you a good shot to get a .500 light(perfect light). Hope this helps
