    Pro Tip #1, Pro tree focus on only the top bulb. When you find yourself straying off looking at all three ambers your not focused enough. Will be more consistent looking at the top bulb only. Also a practice tree will do wonders

    that was pretty good. i kind of knew everything you went through already. if I stage and anthother car takes to long, is there a time limit where the tree will just go? I thought you could be time out if you dont stage soon after the first guy stages.. thanks

    All very well saying that you always stage last as you have a street car. So, what happens when up against another street car with the same driver attitude?

    oh and im not saying youre wrong but you left out a big fact on reading the tree and launching. the reason you launch before green is more because our reaction time is slower than the time it takes the tree to go from yellow to green. i think you typically launch on the yellow and by the time your brain does its thing the tree is green

    John you need to learn how to be the first to stage aswell sometimes the starter will force you to go in a great racer knows every aspect of the game and comfortable in all situations

    • @MyLonewolf25
      @MyLonewolf25 6 років тому

      Edward Moon no. No it is not
      Time starts when that light goes green
      The entire drivetrain has slack to take up and there’s room in those beams
      Don’t leave the beams before the green and you’re golden
      Nothing cheating about it

    • @hastyhemi8737

    Is this a serious topic? Don’t waste everybody’s time climbing into an engine bay, where it’s hard to see what you’re writing.
    Is this just a goofy “comedy out take”?or are you for real?
