I'm sure this thread will get locked or deleted since I used God in the title but didn't know of a more fitting word to use? But I am very thankful that there is a type of racing that is very affordable to those of us that do not have the income to support other classes of racing. We get to run our dinosaur camshafts and other antiquated parts. I'm sure some might consider it being on par with demolition derby types that like banjo music and spit tobaco products? They can think that all they want. But the next time your at one of those big events just remember if it wasn't for us bracket racers keeping those tracks open the big events would be far and few between. 5049789-pir.jpg (106 downloads)

Sounds like you are a little upset over the cam thing.Do you really care?Run what you want and if you lined up next to me I wouldnt know or care what you have in your car,only that you beat me I love all the racing and think brackets are the most fun, because you have to think a little more than heads up.Have a good day and your car looks great

I ended up with a bracket car three years ago and just had a blast!! We ended up wrecking that car (if it doesen't handle right fix it!) I am currently building a 70 Swinger smallblock to get back out and battle. It's been a steep learning curve but I'm still having fun! 70 Dart Swinger, 2850 lbs SB 408, Bullet roller 264/268 @50 .636 SSDS stage 2 Edelbrock heads, 1 7/8 Headmans, 1050 dominator by Dom, 9.867 @ 133

I can't afford a "race" car, but I can still show up and battle with my daily driver and get as much of a thrill. I spent 3 plus seasons in the car in my sig running high 18s and low 19s every week, and doing pretty well. I've also won money and trophies in cars that were even slower! Ron H.
