Have you noticed that when the "light" starters run backwards, raise their arms over their heads and get the flashlight centered between the two cars and turn on the light, if you watch enough shows you can see when the light is coming on and anticipate the light pretty closely every time.

So if you watch for the "centering of the light" and leave on that, the time it takes for the car to leave is only a small bit after the light comes on?

Kelly has got that 'TELL' (as they say in poker) figured out pretty good. He is always the first to leave, always.

But I give him credit for knowing that his car will leave the same way every time and by watching the filming of other racers during the show he can see when the 'TELL' is there vs the light coming on.
