For people that know nothing about bracket racing its looks so easy. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

I Have a shelf full of trophies. I usually make it to the 1/4's...finshed 2nd more times than I'd like to remember. Those guys in the video look like they are bagging 3-5 tenths.... Not much bagging if you give yourself 1/100th.

If your car will run 12.05 flat out and you dial 12.10, you're holding .05, 5/100ths. If you held .5 or 5/10ths you would dial 12.55. My car ussually runs within .03-.04 on any given day.

Run flat out and if I have room I will tap the brakes with my foot still on the gas at the top end. I figure you have to get a good lite as thats where most races are won and lost. If I dont get a good lite I most likely will loose the race. The car needs to run the number and the drivers needs a good lite. I dont like to play all that sand bagging as its to easy to run out to me. If I dont get the lite or run the number then I dont deserve the win anyway. Ron

It does not mean you cant win,but against top talent if you cant run within a couple of hundreds of your predicted et all day you are going home early.

Broke a valve and put a hole in a piston doing that exact thing. I'd rather dial hard by .01 to .02 and hang it out the back end. If I'm out, just scrub the brakes a bit.

I need to cut it closer at the big end... usually i take the stripe by .02x, been having trouble judging past that.. Kevin, in my wife's '68 barracuda I typically use the wing window and in my car I put a piece of tape on the passenger window where a wing window would be if it had one. And then after I turn the first bulb on I look at where the other car is when they are per-staged so I will know if I need to keep them dehind or in front of the line at the stripe On the driver side I don't have a stripe on the window but I do look to see where they are when we are per-staged. I have a window net on the driver side that I try to use but I need to see if I can put a stripe on the driver side too. I try to take .015 or less stripe but that sure doesn't always work out lol. I am better at judging the stripe margin when I'm in the left lane. An being the faster car really helps too.
