Well damn, you beat me to my short-term goal even if I didnt make it to the track this season like I hoped. I should've kept the hype for the Helix down but it was just too cool
really though, congrats man! Doing that on a stock motor/drivetrain plus with twins is certainly an accomplishment! I wanna bring my twins into the 9s next season, hopefully I'll see you there Back on the topic at hand on this page: this is why I love these forums and prefer them so heavily over the FB groups. It's nice to see the developers of this platform are still down to get together and discover more things for us even after a decade+. If this does turn into another donation thing for the group of people who's doing this I'll happily donate again - unfortunately I dont think I have the skills to offer in regards to physically helping with that kinda thing.

Not to mention, none of that information is available outside the Facebook ecosystem. You can't do a search on Google and find any Facebook group posts.
Watch the video again. At 1:13 you can see the car launch, then roll through pre-stage and stage beams.
@Slow335is aka Nick Olsen is a big fat phony.
That Nick Olsen kid is a known scammer there was a bunch of posts about him then he was banned from almost every major N5x fb page.
I'm leaning toward this was intentional.

For any of those uneducated people red lighting aka leaving early doesn’t change your time down the track lmao it’s the same either way just means you left before green doesn’t affect your ET

The timer starts when you break the beams doesn’t matter when you break the beams. So if it was a .750 reaction time you wouldn’t add that time on to the pass that’s not how it works. This shows who’s been to the track and who hasn’t because that’s hilarious some people think it works like that. You don’t add or minus time off your ET based on your reaction time.
I knew you could sleep at the light and wait 10 seconds once its green and still get a good ET, it just makes sense it works the same way if you leave early.
The forums are getting as bad as facebook with misinformation and stupid accusations from people that have probably never been on a drag strip.

if you are staged behind the beams all that shit goes out the window
This isn't about the RT / ET at all.
Driver started 2-3 car lengths behind pre-stage and stage and got a nice rolling start as car tripped the timer. So the time is invalid.
I think we're seeing different things. It looked like he staged perfectly to me. Looks like you're seeing parallax error. He's lined up right next to the other car, and yet you are saying he's 3 cars behind the staging lights?
Moment of launch and initial movement - notice front wheel placement
Staging box:
Red light:
He looked perfectly staged to me.
Finally someone gets how works. People don't realize that et and reaction time heavily correlate hence deep staging etc.
