Fun Ford Weekend

[Denny]

Hahaha!

[Broncojohnny]

I won brackets one time at the motorplex and cut a perfect light in the process. Won $50!

Lol, the Street class at the motorplex pays $150.00 and is usually 4 rounds max, the other classes pay much better. Everyone thinks a new/slow car will repeat to the .01 every time. I promise you they won't. And you never answered if you even have a fast car? I've done plenty of street racing/grudge before it was cool.

What does it matter if I got a fast car? A dial in is a dial in. We should both get there at the same time, right?

Your Maverick looks to be in my "race car's" class. I do need to warn you, though, I did remove the A/C.

We have never used a delay box or a throttle stop, the class we run is no/e

Yeah, takes a lot of skill to cut that light with a delay box, then on-off-on-off-on throttle at the end of the track to really run that dial-in! Woohoo, what a rush!

I know you guys are really into it, but Bracket Ra... er, Driving is the Communism of drag racing. And it's the absolute worst spectator experience in motorsport.

Just go heads-up in a class you're competitive in.

We've been running the index class this year, it's heads up but I still consider it bracket racing with a set dial-in. Red-lighting with a 5.0 pro tree sucks. That's all we've done the last 5 months.

Some races t-brakes are legal, others their not.

Haters gonna hate

$20,000 to win thanksgiving bracket race at Northstar, see all the "bracket racing is easy" haters there.

[Rustang]

Ok Denny, let me know when you're ready.

[line-em-up]

Shit just got real. Dude's gonna cut an .000 on yo bitch ass!

That's gonna suck if he has a .500 light.

[Denny]

Ok Denny, let me know when you're ready.

So, if I win, bracket racing sucks and really isn't racing? I'm just trying to figure this out.

[Rustang]

It is, what it is... You said it was easy, giving you the chance to prove it. Heads-up racing is easy, just stab and steer! Oh, wait... How many crashes have happened lately??? Lol!

[Denny]

LMAO!!! I'm dealing with one of you. OK, bucky. Let's go over definitions, shall we? What bracket "racing" is not, is racing. Racing is a competitive action to reach a starting point to a finishing point FASTER than any other competitors. Bracket "racing" is getting the closest time to each estimate and do it closer than any other competitors with their own respective estimates.

I'm going to classify that closer to shuffle board, not racing.

We can still race, but no matter if you have a faster vehicle or not, you're still not going to change those definitions.

I seriously doubt we'll have any crashes. I don't know what brought that up.

[jyro]

If that was all there was too it, each car could run alone

You left out the starting light and reading it better than the other guy. That's the hardest part. Also judging the change in the weather, starting line conditions, track temp, wind direction makes it a real challenge. Most that have never tried it, give up long before ever mastering it. Heads up racing is so much easier.

Because heads-up racing is just racing, but several variables are factored in as well, most of which you listed.

A lot is factored in to shuffle board. Humidity, how much silicone is on the board, opponents pucks on the board, banking boards in some cases, etc. Unlike racing, it's more of a "get to the closest point" like bracket "racing."

If the goal isn't to be faster, rather closer to a time without going too slow or fast, how is that racing?!

[Sleeper]

Bracket racing is its own deal. I dont like it, but thats just me. Both heads up and bracket racing are usually a money game. There are some smart fuckers out there that can win with knowledge, but most is money.

Only true bracket racing is no throttle stops, no electronics etc.
Read the tree, weather, track condition, etc. Hopefully you cut a good light and win.

[sonicbluegt]

I don't mind bracket racing but to me index racing is what I enjoy the most. index racing is like heads up with a cap. Its not easy to get your car to run a certain time as the weather and track conditions change.
