I see many comments that Bracket racing is boring. I ask this; If you could build/buy a racecar with-in a working mans budget which would you do. Build a nice bracket car? Or build a heads up car that you new couldn't have a chance of winning with? Running NMCA events, watching KOS, and our local Milan run what brung there is a wide disparity in ET in the heads up classes. Many times I see the #3 qualifier is .3-.5 slower or more than #1. This wouldn't work for me. I enjoy competition. I got bored with chasing only ET long ago. Don't get me wrong. I still tune and strive to get quicker. Winning at bracket racing is far from easy. I'm sure many have never even won a race. It takes tuning, driving skill, and luck. So what would you rather have? A Bracket car? Or a off pace Heads-Up car? Personally I'd love to have a competitive X275 car. I don't have the budget. I don't have the time dedicated to test and maintain it.
