I typically dont give away alot of info on bracket racing but I will tell you that the blinder needs to be placed away from your face at least a foot. Tried it on the helmet visor and that dont work.

And Michael is one to the ones capable of doing it. On any given day anyone is capable of doing it. Doing it consistently in the box class with a no box car is a different ball game and there are a select few that can do it. Plus the addition of the crosstalk crap on the tree really plays havoc with a guy that counts the bulbs down. I havent run super pro much since they instituted the crosstalk.

I beleive I can knock off any box car at any time and have won some big money doing just that. That being said, there have only been a few instances where I have thrown up sub .025 packages the whole way and at a Tenn Tuck type event; you pretty much have to do just that to win.
you better pay atention to him

I was having a discussion with our new track operator and some racers tonight and this question came up. How much of an advantage do you think someone has in a bracket race with a delay box? NO crossover/crosstalk, just a single hit on a .500 full tree.? Don't care about the throttle stop at this point. He is having a quick 32 door car race, but it's open for all. I was trying to get some support for a NO electronic quick 32, like transbrake/2step only, race. So let's hear what you think.
Just putting the original poster's question in front of new readers who haven't read it. Like I posted, my estimate is 0.010 vs 0.030 (Box vs No-Box)

I have never used a box, but have friends that do. I have watched them over the years and have had to race against them from time to time. the only way that running a box can make racing easier is if you get to use is against racers that that don't. The box gives you a huge advantage at the line, however all the other cars have the same huge advantage. Everyone can pick out one example when a foot brake guy beat all the electronic guys. Heck I've done it myself. Put that same lucky foot brake winner into the Super Pro class for a while and he will learn how to lose and lose often. If you want to put together a Q32 race and include all the racers, the only fair way is to simply use a .4 pro tree.
how would that be fair? most slower footbrake type cars would be at a huge disadvantage because most of them can't cut a decent light on a .4 tree

Bill McCarty won all 3 classes one night last summer with a footbrake Dakota. Bill is a bad man.
