    Hence the reason bracket racing was invented. To race against similar cars/classes....everyone is within a second or so of each other within a class usually. It rewards driving/split second decision making instead of fat wallets.

    The downside to bracket racing, is that the only people who enjoy it are bracket racers. Bring out the average joe race fan to watch it and they wonder wtf is going on. And, even after you explain it to them, they wonder wtf is going on.

    This thread could turn into a long bracket vs heads up duel, but lets not get too far off track. :bom:

          Didnt read every post. But bracket racing is rather boring. Going the same time over and over. blah.

            Wow, those are some ancient quotes your pulled up. 🙂 Turns out I was quite correct, it only took from 2006 to 2010 for you to figure out how to get your car hooked up. 🙂

            I'll prob agree with your 2011 predictions, at least at Top End Dragways. I'm pretty sure that is still the pecking order there? Or did you get the car to hook up there once?

              I'm still trying to figure out who this is...
              And considering I don't see Nissan/Chevy in that list...
              I can't help but jump to conclusions...

                              I was on three different tracks last year. My mph at each was higher than your best all year. I ran 176 spinning thru 1st and 2nd at idr

                                no, after seeing Christian post about stretching the Kawasaki I figure we might not see much more out of the notch this year. shrug

                                Anyway, after a little digging...
                                I wouldn't worry about the ford/chevy - I've never seen him with an assembled car.

                                    How come your 8.39 @ 176 mph pass isn't in the Fargostreet 1/4 mile times list?
