If you think you have a fast Ford or know someone who thinks they have a fast GM, come out and show us.

2 classes street and slick . Both will win money and a set of MT tires

**Slow01GT** · 07-31-2011, 11:07 PM

Is this a bracket type event or a heads up deal?

Well wtf why would I need a fast Ford or GM for bracket racing? I'll bring a minivan.

**Slow01GT** · 08-01-2011, 08:40 PM

It is only about 2 hours from the cranberry area so I might give it a try.

**TI Dyno** · 08-01-2011, 10:45 PM

Nothing wrong or unfair about bracket racing.

In fact it's a harder test of driver ability than heads up racing.

The problem with bracket racing is a few large brackets aren't enough.

If you had brackets of 0/10.5, 10.5/11.5, 11.5/12.5, 12.5/up, the racing
would be much more exciting, and more competitive.

Run what ya brung and hope its enough is how all drag racing should be

That's ridiculous, unless you have a big stack.

I laugh at the guys that say that and have SLOW cars.

All sports have rules for a reason, it makes the competition fair.
