The ET you run starts when you trip the beams, so if you wait 10 seconds after the light turns green before you go, it doesn't add 10 seconds to your ET. Reaction time is only a measure of how long it took you to react to the green light. Normally in drag racing, first to the finish line is the winner, so if you leave 0.1sec later than the other guy, you have to run at least 0.1sec faster than him to catch him and win. Leave too early and you get a redlight and you lose automatically, but that doesn't affect the ET you run either.
