Aslong as I keep my calm and keep it planted if the front wheel pops up I think I could run a decent time, I'd lose time shifting early in first though, I always shift at 10k cause the front end goes mental above that in first

If so then you reaction time counts for everything, surely?
At a RWYB, the timer starts when you do, however long after the light has changed that is.
In a proper FIA regulated competition, the reaction time is taken into the elapsed time, so it really does count then.

Oh right cool, good to know. Reaction Time at RWYB is just one of those little things to brag about between your mates then, although it seems the really low ones are just luck!

easy, depends what syllable you get to in El-e-phant.
A bit like 1 el-e-phant 2 el-e-phant 3.el-e = 3.6 seconds.

At a guess around 17.8-18.2

Are you going up to 60 on your speedo?
62mph which the book figures will be in will be at least 65 on your speedo, maybe even higher.
