NHRA race announcer, drag-racing historian, TV host, and event emcee Bret Kepner of St. Louis, a.k.a. Mr. Dirt, has been bracket racing since 1990, winning many thousands of dollars in the process, including a spectacular winning performance in a rental car he had acquired earlier on the day of the races, taking home $5000. He favors renting Tauruses and Sables because they're cheap and very consistent from place to place because they are all alike. He races 40 to 50 times a year and wins $250 to $800 every time

I ran my charger rental car at Raceway park in Englishtown.

Charger rental: Monster Mopar. It was THEIR fault, upgrading me to a Hemi when they ran out of Avengers..................

All that Mr. Dirt stuff is from 20 years ago, it is very difficult to win rounds in a modern rental, even in Sportsman class.

I've had a terrible time racing the new cars. Maybe the drive by wire, I don't know. Cars are all over consistancy wise.

When I first got the 300 and felt the lag of the DBW I thought I wouldn't be able to hit the tree if I ran over it. However, at the track I found it to be both easy to stage/launch, and pretty dead nuts consistent. I could actually floor it on the line and the car would not creep.

I made 8 runs with the car over 2 days. I had 6 lights between .048 and .055, (4 were .048) 1 red on a bye when I tried to push it, and an .083. Car varied by less than a tenth over 2 days.

I had a '96 Cavalier rental once that ran 5 18:61's in a row at US 41.

Allright I am in So Cal and Fontana is racing this weekend. We were supposed to get a Grand Marquis but they messed up and did not have one so they upgraded us to a 2010 Camaro. I would rather of had a Challenger, but a Camaro is better than the Mercury. Anyway there is a decal on window that states WARNING This Vehicle monitered by Orion tracking system. Has anyone raced a rental that was monitered by satelite and not got caught. I would love to get a race in in January, even if in a rental Camaro in street class. In Missouri it will be April before a money race.
