Christmas Tree practice

This site has both a sportsman and pro tree simulation, it's kind of fun and good practice for timing a drag tree. Click Here!

.51

While this site is good to practice your R/T, it doesn't represent the real world's R/T. For instance, in reality I normally launch at the 3rd yellow and I usually get mid .5 R/T (my best was .508). When I do the same in that site, I get a red light.

I think it's because in real life you can't just click on the mouse button in order to launch the car and that's why got red light.
But it's a little fun program for you to play with when your office bores you.

This only confirmed what I suspected. The older you get, the slower your reflexes are.

I like it because it gets you some practice at using the ambers to anticipate the green. Of course, launching your car and clicking your mouse are totally different but this is better, I think, than the reaction time websites that measure true blink-of-an-eye reaction time.

I think it's because too many martinis... Mr. Bond.
