[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 797177, member: 3256"] For anyone that still thinks that it was only my prior experience that made my bike faster, study this time slip: [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/drag_strip_2010_10_09/time_slip_2010_10_09_jason_best.jpg[/IMG] The reaction time is not included in any of the numbers, except for the final number that shows how much the winner won by. In this race, Jason had an awesome launch, and mine was mediocre (see 60ft times). He also beat me to the 594ft mark. By this point, launching is well over and it's just a matter of how fast the bike can accelerate, and making sure you don't mess up a shift (which neither of us did in this race). I caught up to him by the 1/8 mile mark and beat him by 0.77s (~15 feet) (pretending that we had equal reaction times). That's all pure top-end acceleration with no differences in launching skills interfering. [/QUOTE]
