So has anyone here been weekly bracket racing their G3?
Such as a whole season?
Round robin?
Double classing?

Yes
Yes
Yes

I put roughly 150-175 runs on the car this past season, All 1/4 mile. Box, No Box, Super Street (10.90). Won like $5K roughly.

Valve covers have been off once, Oil changed twice and a new idler arm from all the wheelies. Other than checking to make sure the bolts aren't falling out it's required no attention.

I was double entered in late rounds and made five 1/4 mile runs in under an hour, back to back to back to back to back. I never had time to go to my trailer. That same day I put 17 runs on the car, and another 9 the following day. Add fuel, check air pressure in the slicks and charge the battery. Piece of cake.

Best run has been 1.42, 6.42@107, 10.11@132 @3420#

So I'll ask you this!
You had a small block R3 correct?
Are you faster mph than you where with the R3?

I will say that is a really awesome season.....What is the weight of the car and gearing and what fuel?
