my car is a street car not a race car/bracket car.
i want to go to the track for my own enjoyment and not to feel the pressure of trying to cut a good light to win a race, so i can move on to the next round.
where is BIR?Any car can be a bracket car in the trophy/sportsman class for the most part.
Cutting a good light is a huge part of drag racing. If you take off a half second behind the car you are racing, he has a big advantage. That's all cutting a good light is about. Going to the next round is not just determined by cutting a good light though... your car needs to run close to your dial in time (the time your car normally should run in the 1/4). I am sure you know most of that anyway Brian, but I figured I would throw that in there for anyone else reading.
BIR is about 2 1/2 hours east of here in Brainerd, Minnesota. Test and Tune's in Brainerd are fun to go to if you want to just run a bunch of times. They are always the Friday's before the bracket race and are 10am to 6pm. You can request to line up against particular cars if you want to race a buddy or something. -
yeah i know. i would rather pay for what i want to do and that is drag race the car. not bracket race it. every run i make, i want to be better then the last one. not trying to match it.
depending on the time schedule of BIR on wednesday's, i might try to make it out there. -

Like I said earlier, they start at 5pm. Usually I would get at the track around 4:30 or a bit earlier to get through tech inspection and start racing right at 5 sharp. They run until sundown. You will need a Snell 90 rated helmet or better to race at that track.

Nice homer quote!
What about us that have school, or work on Monday. An improvement, but still a bad idea. -
Geezus.....tough crowd..... Everyone is getting so upset at Interstate, but everyone needs to remember that the reason things changed was because of weather, not because Idrags is trying to pee in anyones cheerios.... I think everyone is being a little excessively rude towards homer and Idrags... They are working with the ND weather the best they can... Changing the dates ahead of time was a GOOD thing for those major racers that come with the mega high dollar racercars from many miles away with the motorhomes/trailors/kids/etc/etc... and a BAD thing for the street legal crowd... Homer and Idrags did the best they could by giving everyone friday night, and Monday the 30th.... It may not work out for everyone, but at least IDrags is trying! Hopefully we will be able to see a good turnout this Friday... and we can all hope that the weather cooperates for the future street legal races.

My biggest question is that being there hasn't been any races yet this year and the 1st event is a street legal is there going to be adequete prep on the track? There certantly wont be any rubber from the previous day and earlier cars as this is the 1st race.
IMO they should have ran a test and tune the past 2 sundays rather then cancelling the whole weekend. This past sunday it was super nice out and the sunday before was pl;enty decent enough to have raced.
