I didnt think reaction time had a bearing on the qm time? i must be grossly mistaken.
Well, they start timing when the light goes green so it's hard for it not to be a bit of a bearing on it :)
Altho 1.8 seconds sounds like a poor reaction, with 700PS under the bonnet it was probably more to do with trying to get a good start than an actual 'reaction'.
Not sure about serious races but the Crail quarter mile times where is was timed do not include the reaction time. The ET doesn't start till you cross the start line. The poor reaction time probably had more to do with him trying to get a good launch of the line rather than trying to second guess the lights and messing up the start.

But we know what'll happen... that blue MR2 was starting off in third or something.
The timing for the run starts when you cross the beam, the reaction time is added to this figure to get a total time for the run, to see who crossed the line first. An RT of 1.8 would suggest it was a practice run rather than a head to head.
