New class in the Saturday bracket racing program:

Novice class replaces Trophy: Trophy class is now Millerstown Pic A Part Novice class. Footbrake only, car must be driven in (no trailered cars), DOT tires and exhaust required, 11.50 (1/4 mile, 7.35 in the 1/8 mile) and slower. Racers who have won a class or an event previously, at any track, are not eligible. $15 to enter, winner and runner up get trophies, no buyback/reentry. Racers spouses/significant others/crew get free entry into the class with paid crew admission.

Interesting ...

Is the shift to a lot of 1/8th mile race dates driven by the SBRA?

I hope the Novice class works out, good concept. Interesting the 11.50 ET break, did they also change street to 11.50 or still 12.00?

Looks like an action packed season, will be interested to see details of the July 1st race.

Street car night.... You guys giving out stickers lol?

[hemi14]

I raced a couple times last year. First time in over 30 years. Life got in my way. Kids now grown, wife says she likes to see me have fun and likes it when I stay away for a whole day. What's up with that? So I'm a little rusty. What is the difference between test and tune and street car test and tune? I ran a couple test and tunes and the fall track rental. Also the flashlight drags, I like these, lots of runs and pretty cheap. Hoping to race a lot this year and not break anything. But new drag radials and more power may mess with my plans.

The shift to 1/8th mile is a mix of the 2 bracket finals - both IHRA and SBRA are 1/8 - and most bracket racing on this side of the country is moving to 1/8.

The Novice class is to give newbies to bracket racing a VERY affordable entry level class with their street cars. The 11.50 break is because so many Mustangs, Camaros, etc, can easily be tweaked into the 11s. Novice is a KRP class only. Street is contested at the bracket finals, and IHRA sets the ET break, so it remains at 12.00 and up.

Yes, 100mph club, 125mph club, 150mph club, and 175mph club stickers are on Saturday Night Street Drags only.

Test and tune is open to everything - drag cars and bikes, street cars and bikes, junior dragsters, quads. Saturday Night Street Drags are for street cars and bikes only. Trailered in, slicks, and open headers are allowed.

Anybody else counting down the days to the first test n tune ??????

[travj31]

Not sure I'll be ready for the first day, but definitely looking forward to running this summer.

Same here. Have some house remodeling to do, but will make a track rental a priority, as long as it's not on the same day as my other races.

[CobraII]

I'll feel better when my heap is back together, but looking forward to another full season.

NMRA is this weekend in Bradenton, and at least on paper Mason Dixon opens tomorrow .... I was hoping one of those would get me motivated to get to work ... not looking good so far. I cant believe how bad my motivation has been this winter.

[Ares]

Man I am so itching to go racing again. With that said I still dislike 1/8 mile.

I'm unsure how I'm going to like 1/8 mile as well. Going to dabble this season in points so don't have much of a choice but to try it out. Friends that have bracket raced for years seem to like it so it may just be something you have to try and get used to.

Perhaps that will help your motivation.

[SlowSix]

Hoping to be ready for the first Street car night.

[casper gt]

Glad the track is here but with that said, 1/8 mi stuff is no fun for most street type cars IMO.

I like some of the index and no prep things other tracks are doing though.

[CobraII]

For competition, 1/8 mile will be coming in more and more. For test and tune, it will always be 1/4 mile. Most street type cars don't seem to like bracket racing anyway, though I think the new Novice class is a great introduction to bracket racing.
