Two C7's duke it out at Drag Strip. VIDEO
Auto vs 7 speed at Royal Purple Raceway in Houston. First timers obviously but cool to see them already at the track. Check it out.
Thanks for the post.

You can read up more here.
A common misconception of newcomers is that the ET (elapsed time) clock begins when the green starting line bulb is lit. This is a false misunderstanding. In fact, there are two separate time recordings taken on the race track: reaction time and elapse time. The reaction time is the time elapsed from the flash of the green bulb to the motion of the vehicle as it completely leaves the starting line beam. If that seemed a bit too much, let me refresh your memory and elaborate further.

I don't know if you are a drag racer, but each side of the track has a timer and when the front tires leave the laser the timer starts.

If your not first your last Ricky Bobby. The real story is the MPH on each side. The car is the right lane is making big MPH over the Left.

You may be correct, I'm not a drag racer and could write a book on what I don't know about it. I was just watching the film and reacting to what I saw. Seemed like the white car had a better time but left 1st by about 1/2 second. But I admit I could be in left field, not my specialty.
I don't know if you are a drag racer, but each side of the track has a timer and when the front tires leave the laser the timer starts it does not start at the green light... the first number on the board it the reaction time and when the cars pass the finish line the 12.2 does not include reaction time. The total time from green to finish is near 12.7 but 12.2 from laser to laser.
