Looks like the RCF driver broke the beams first and then accelerated.

He had the faster time so it should not matter.

What I’m saying is he broke the staging lights by letting off the brakes and the wheels moving forward with no throttle. The timer started and then he accelerated WOT. Probably lost a tenth or two by doing that.

Makes sense. He would have been a few tenths quicker, I guess. Thanks.

Anyone know whether he used the launch button (or even if he had one?).

No way of knowing as my brake-torque launches for my Dragy runs sounded pretty much the same from outside. About 1500 rpm and then slam the throttle in.
