Thanks, fro, for the answer. Which leads to another question...
Why does drag racing use the term "elapsed"? In any other type of racing that I can think of the term used is just "time".
Or, I guess the question could be, Why don't other types of racing use the term "elapsed"?

ET means elapsed time (term is mostly used in drag racing). It's the amount of time it takes to go from start to finish. The fastest pass down the track is the "low ET."

ET stands for elapsed time. RT stands for reaction time. I think drag racing uses these terms to show the difference. I can't think of another type of racing where reaction time is important. The fastest ET doesn't always win the race, especially if your RT is not good. Many times, drag racers will have the same ET, with the RT being the race deciding factor.
