Your E.T. Slip

After your done racing and your heading back to the pits, you'll find a ticket booth. Simply pull up and grab your ticket from the attendant. This ticket is called your E.T. slip or your Timeslip. Your E.T. slip will typically have the following information.

Left Lane Right Lane
car# M773 M505
RT .502 .660
60 foot time 1.703 2.150
330 foot time 5.027 5.855
1/8th et 7.821 8.875
1/8th mph 87.77 82.95
1000 foot et 10.233 11.433
1/4 et 12.26 13.595
1/4 mph 110.72 103.95

Left 1st 1.486

In this example, you are in the left lane. You will see that your reaction time (RT) is .502. The reaction time is not part of your E.T.

The times in mph are self explanatory. They are the actual times and mph you were at as you crossed the beams at each distance.

The 1.486 at the bottom of the timeslip indicates that you won by a total of 1.486 seconds. This time does, however include the reaction time.
