Not bad considering the RT, I have never tracked a car so I don't have any room to talk, but work on it and you should be able to get much better.

Glad you had a fun time, but remember, reaction time has nothing to do with overall ET. The ET clock starts after you lauch and 'extinguish' the stage lights. In any race (to include bracket), a poor reaction time just means that you have given the other lane a head start.

I know it's been mentioned before, but the it seems that the hardest part of getting good ETs with the SS is the launch (60ft times).
