Slow cars like that can put the fast guys on the trailer anytime, thats bracket racing for you...
Dont get me wrong here, i dont want to exclude the crew guys, they are key to making fast passes and a winning team...so let me re phrase here, some people are all over this section telling people what and what not to do, and the have not been to a track or involved with a race car for years...

Yep, I've noticed.
I've been bracket racing steady for 22 years.
A few weeks ago there was a post about blippin the tires in the water box and the expert consensus was it's useless. I resisted posting about week later to say I had blipped the tires 6 times on my way to a super pro win.

I have been racing for what seems like forever,you can kind of get a "feel" for people and tell who knows a little bit about what they are talking about.
There are people who do things once or twice and pretend to be experts,and also people who advertise engines they have or built for sale that make X amount of horsepower with no data to back it up.
If you are in doubt about someone,ask around for second opinions.
I'll be the first to admit,I am no expert on anything.If I think I can help somebody on here I certainly will try though.

Over 4000 passes since 1978. I have more runs on my first 340 than 50% of the posters added up. When you get older, it just happens. Has been a drought, though. Maybe 2011 will be my year.

I think most are missing the point.I know that when a NOS post comes up one guy is going to answer.I don't think he has ever had a NOS car.You can read on the net and then give advise but till you really do it your just a keyboard racer.

HEY! Can you use another name? lol

There was a Mad Magazine many, many years ago that had a list of "cool" stuff and "uncool" stuff. Pets like snakes & pit bulls as opposed to poodles & turtles as well as names, like Spike & Butch as opposed to Percy, Myron, etc.

Not my fault. Long story.

I lived vicariously through all the “racers” on the board this year

No time to take the car out this year, but hope to next year
Have some things to work on first though

To all that got to have fun

Racers or race winners ? I am 54 been racing since I was 16. Winless for way too many years , but Still love it and get out to the track as time and money allows. Maybe not the big time winner but I have been plugging at it longer than a lot of guy's have been alive.
