    0.000 or 0.500?

    I got a 0.002 R/T in a car once. I circled around, got lined up then someone right in front of me got a 0.001 to win the $50 giftcard. lil bastard, lol!

    Back when I was running my bike and it was 0.500 (guess pro tree years ago?) I was consistently running a 0.52-0.56 R/T with a 1.3 second 60'. Good times!

    NHRA changed the the traditional yet damage-prone incandescent lights, with led lights.


    "The biggest advantage is that the vibration, especially that caused by the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes, won't cause the LED bulbs to burn out like it will an incandescent," said NHRA's Graham Light. "Amber bulb failures, especially during full Tree countdowns in the Sportsman classes, lead to re-runs and other problems. We are trying to avoid that problem as well as step up our technology.

    "We tested the new bulbs without problem during preseason testing in Tucson," added Light, "but racers attending the Winternationals and subsequent events are advised that the LED lights illuminate quicker, by about three-hundredths of a second, than the incandescent lights."

    But don't mind either one

    its hard to explain but it measures the same way, they just made it to where perfect is .000 instead of .400 but it still takes .400 for the light to switch from yellow to green.

    standard is easier to time, but pro is more fun. My fastest time was my only time on a pro tree. Maybe it was good luck.
