Where is begining of 1/2 mile? After green box?

1500 ft of acceleration. As Joe said, there is a start light that is manually triggered while both cars are lined up around 60-65mph.

You served as the original inspiration for my first build, aka my decent into madness.
I don't know know whether to buy you a steak dinner or cuss you out!
Lol, thanks Randy.

Can you explain about trap speed? I am trying compare to our results but cant, we doing from stand still. So question is in what kind of way trap speed will be higher, from stand still or from rolling?
Thanks Sergey, I believe a trap will be higher from a roll for sure.
