Big bucks have no advantage in this type of racing, hoping the slower guy red lights. Actually in bracket racing you don't race anyone but yourself. They run side by side to make it look like a race to the spectators. Now the other driver, fast or slow, can make it easy or hard for you to win by a bad light or bad dial. If he has a .0001 and dead on with an 0, you go home and visa versa.
I like this red light thing, makes it fair for whatever car you drive.
