When the green light lit up, Frank actually had a slightly faster reaction time off the line than Lindsay and as both made their way down the strip, all it took was the smallest gust of wind to sneak underneath Frank’s car to blow him up in the air. Lindsay would cross the line first and Frank’s car would finish sliding on its roof! Lindsay’s Reaction Time was :0.26, 60' Time: 0.27, Elapsed Time: 1.54 and Speed (MPH): 92.138. Congrats Lindsay!
