It doesnt come off your skin, and it will get you sick if you dont wear a mask or your filters are really bad. Usually every tuesday and wednesday I shoot zinc, my least favorite days of the week. Let me guess new flyer buss parts is what you sprayed?

Correct, I used to spray the entire frames, 2-3 full size bus frames a night. I would have to change my rubber boot covers every other day as they would get ridiculously heavy.

It must be the paint fumes... :drunken_smilie:
Oh, and a sportsman tree is for girls.

Neither, the better question is how often will the n/a small bock beat the turbo fanboys! None of you guys can cut a light even if your life depends on it. Full tree, I will beat you every time. Ohhhh no pro tree stuff tho....

I said n/a. If I put the n20 to it, your pumpkin wont have much of a chance. I have seen your slips, add a 1 to the .500 and maybe you are in your neighborhood! ........ Now get back to work! hehN/A? Then you must certainly be talking bracket racing. That's for old guys with slow cars who are afraid to go fast.

Seriously? There are MANY ways to lose at bracket racing:
Redlight = Lose
Too Fast = Lose
Too Slow = Lose
Slow Reaction = Lose (or potentially losing)
Car Breaks = LoseThe only ways to win are if you opponent does one of the above or if you manage to get to the finish line before the other guy without any of the above happening to you.
If I were tired of losing, I'd concentrate on making my car faster and say fuck bracket racing all together.

Ever been to a s/c event? Can you cut a .000 light? Most s/c cars are capable of running 7's and still make 170mph passes with 2-3 seconds on the throttle stop. Heads up racing is usually won by the team with the most money. How is that racing?

Taking all of the fun out of it.

Race against people with similarly modified cars, no sense in loosing to a slower car, just up the league... -

Taking all of the fun out of it.I disagree, I've had far more fun bracket racing than heads up. Trying to decide with only 150' of track left whether to lift for fear of breaking out or to stay in it because the other car is coming up quick and may pass is a tough choice. Being on the track at the same time (in jackpot racing) as a rail car is tough for both vehicles. One has to wait at the light for few seconds for his tree to light, the other has to hope that he dialed in properly and adjusted for elemental conditions so that he doesn't either A. Break out or B. Go to slow and get passed.

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.

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:
