Brittany Reaction Times

[Leebone]

Gruby has that car tuned well, except for the explosion. But dang, her reaction time seriously needs to improve.

This comes up every year. It’s hard to be too critical of a 2x champ but the reality is that she won’t beat many top drivers off the line. Lined up against Antron, Doug, Steve, Austin, Justin, etc. who would you bet on for RT? The performance advantage has evaporated with all the good competition. I keep pulling for her though.

One other question. Where was the Safety Safari when she had that boomer? She sat in that car for half a minute while it was on fire. When she finally climbed out, the Safety Safari still wasn't there.

you usually see them roll up pretty quick. I wondered the same thing

Safety Safari also had a slow reaction time.

Reaction times wasn't the problem last season and they weren't a issue in 22 when she got crowned either. Funny how she has a shaky first race of the season and here comes the old narratives.

They are in between a rock and a hard place. They used to arrive while the cars were still rolling but since they closed up all of the turnoffs (post Blaine Johnson) they have that much further to go. My two cents anyway.

It's been almost 30 years since we lost Blaine. SS has acclimated to closed off gates.

They were slow(er) (for whatever reason) getting to Brittany

She has fresh air and fire bottles in there. Chill out and wait for the calvary to come.

One their way!

Safety Safari also had a slow reaction time.

Antron made it to the turnoff, but where he happened to stop, he had blocked the Safari truck in, and they couldn’t get around him. They had to get him pushed out of the way before they could get to Brittany.

Maybe they weren't finished with their Ice-cream. (Days of Thunder) also true story of Harry Hide. LOL

I agree. Brittany should try staging a little deeper during eliminations to improve her reaction times. Race to win the event, not for lane choice. The crew chief must be able to tune the car for either lane. (Like Dick LaHaie could)

Dick LaHaie used to have cold periods, followed by brutal performance periods, expecting the same from Grubby. They seem very similar in approach

Another with worse RT problems is DeJoria. A 3.80s car that rarely gets out of the second round. A shame, too; I really like Alexis and who doesn't root for Del Worsham.
Neither are going anywhere and maybe they'll settle into a groove after they get a couple more races in the book.

ISnt that why Nicky B. Left??

 

[Leebone]

Wow, I guess her reaction times have been discussed many times before. Where can I find a dead horse? I need to beat one!

That’s not what he said in this interview but…….

FAMILY REUNION OF SORTS AS BONINFANTE REUNITED WITH JIM OBERHOFER | Competition Plus

The nitro pit area is a community where crew guys will come and go. But more often than not, those working relationships turn into longtime friendships. That’s precisely what happened with Jim Oberhofer and Nicky Boninfante, who worked together back in the day at Kalitta Motorsports on Scott...

Horse may not be dead yet, Lee....that's why.

 

[NITRO JUNKIE]

Brittany will be fine, like Spencer said her RT's weren't the issue last year. I'm sure she will get them dialed in at Pomona.
