looking over the reaction times for top fuel and Mike (on average) did better ,or close to, Leah and was in the same range as Brittany. if your talking about drivers with great cars but slow or uneven reaction times i think Mike does better than Leah and Brittany. In general i think there is a problem with reaction times in both nitro categories. leah, Brittany, Alexis, even Tim are too often slow or uneven off the line. You might say it doesn't matter much since Brittany won a championship with lackluster RT's. But the points race might be alot more interesting if those drivers RT's would improve.Salinas has never been an Antron Brown when it comes to reaction times. Some people just aren't as quick as others, regardless of how much seat time they have. But he doesn't have a problem with funding and he's out there doing what he enjoys with tons of family support. I like Salinas and the sport needs all the nitro drivers it can get right now.
Well no, he lost on a slight hole shot to Torrence, so AJ's power didn't compensate. And in reality, they all have the same power. It's really about the setup and consistency, and when it's that close, it's up to the driver. That Epping TF final was just a great, close race.Forget the reaction time, He has Alan Johnson to back him up H.P. wise.
