you can have the lower ET and faster MPH and still lose a heads up drag race
if the other guy leaves 1st you've gotta catch him and go quicker
by at least that amount +
again, the clock doesn't start until the beam's broken
RT is the time between the green going on and the the beam being
broken by the car moving. roll out, staging deep or shallow
plays into it a little but means little to the average drag racer who
just wants to see how quick/fast his car is.
OBTW: bracket racing ain't real racin'
