The Model 3 looked like it took off a bit before the Is-f, interested to see if the owner is on here ha.

Looked more like driver error for the IS-F. Asleep at the wheel maybe...

I wonder what the times were. I'd expect the model 3 to take it off the line and the isf to catch and pass it before the 1/4 mile.

He actually won. Watched this video last night. Painful video to watch, though. Both he and his brother don't know how to drive.

Is this track at altitude?

I also believe the car was in auto and not in manual mode.

Yes, the ISF did get off to a VERY bad start, but did the ISF lose? When you look at the time at the end of the run, it looks like the model 3 ran a 13.33 @ 104.46 and the ISF ran a 13.29 @ 109.92. Am I totally reading this wrong?

The car that trips the light first is the winner. I believe that car was the Tesla. The isf is the faster car but it lost this race to the Tesla.

Total time = reaction time + elapsed time.

Lowest total time determines winner.
