My button and transbrake valve body reaction time is NOT the issue. They work FAST. When I pop the button the car moves instantly.
My question is a quick reaction time on a Pro Tree where you CANNOT ANTICIPATE (without guessing) when the orange, orange, green are going to flash instantly.
Where I race you cannot go FULL DEEP (turning out the pre-stage light). It you do it is the same as a redlite.
So you have guess how deep you are going into the full stage beam....too far and you turn out the pre-stage light and they redlite you.
The shorter tire will automatically give me a quicker reaction time than the tall tire.
Everyone where I race all the guys use short 24" tires for the pro-tree classes. Some even use 22" front tires.
All the classes I race are pro tree.
I will find out for sure this weekend with my first race with the short 24" tires.

Look at my helmet in this picture. Thats how I taught myself to see the bottom and not anticipate. If I tilt my head down it blinds the tree. Once I practiced it enough, I quit using it. It stays on the helmet just in case I need to go back to it. At that point... everything is a .500 pro tree. So my spot is the same on both trees.

Agreed, you do not need to anticipate to get a quick reaction time. Can't be consistent by anticipating. Anticipation is a guess, not a reaction.
