Not sure, but I was told reaction times didnt play into the run time itself. Thought that was for more of a heads up thing. Your time is started once you reach one foot off the line. True?

1/8 times?

I wonder what your 1/8 mile times are. We only have an 1/8 mile track nearby, and would like to know what others times are in the eighth so I'll have something to shoot for when I get the chance to run mine.

My 1/8 times are in the chart. Just not 1/8 speed, I think I have that on my slips if you wanna see that too.
