Another weekend racing with Dany
You having fun, so that's a win right there.
The race with the Mustang was lost at the starting line...she really didn't have a chance with that reaction time (no offence), and it didn't really matter what Mustang guy dialed as long as it was close...he probably caught your driver before the 330' mark.
Keep working on the reaction times (maybe buy a practice tree, or a pocket tree). Seat time and practice will make you more proficient.
On top of getting the RT under control you can have her work on the other end of the track. Being able to judge the stripe on a fast approaching car is essential (since your car will usually be the one being chased). Put good brakes on the car, dial soft (like 17.2)...its good practice for driving the stripe. It is also fun to mess with people making them eat the stripe. If that's not your thing you can just dial it strait up (to each their own). As long as you cut a light AND can make the car run the number you wrote, you're good.
Have fun :-)
