I know this item has been discussed to death but I would like to give a drag racing analogy / example on reaction time. Im an old guy but in my prime I ran a 1967 Pro ET GTO in bracket racing for years. So to show how reaction time helps get you moving faster here is a scenario.
Erica Enders "Pro stock driver" is known for her very fast and consistent starting line leaves. She lines up next to car driver X. For argument sake both cars run 7.00 second quarter mile times. They line up at the starting line tree and reaction times are measured in thousands of a second. Driver X leaves on the yellow with a .040 reaction time. He runs a 7.00 second et. Erica has a reaction time of .030 and runs the same of 7.00 seconds. Because she left earlier by 10 one thousands of a second she crossed the finish line first which is known as a hole shot win. Yes this is people's reaction time but if your throttle reaction time is a tenth of a second slower than say a cable operated throttle your car will react slower to say a 0 to 60 second time. |
