Sorry to break it to you brother, but those guys aren't bracket racing, heads up racing there.

The reason the slower et one there is because of reaction time.

If guy A runs 9.25 at his dial in was 9.23 and then guy B runs 9.23 with a dial in of 9.20

Guy A will win because he was closest to his dial in.

Bracket Racing has a dial in time or a time that the racer thinks he or she will turn in the 1/4 mile.
Heads Up racing determines a winner by whoever gets to the traps(end of track) first.



what does bracket racing have to do with this. Oh and even in bracket racing you still have to cross the line first to win. You just cant beat your dial in time in the process.

Correct. Reaction time and the first 60ft. is everything.

good one AL! Who said drag racing doesn't involve and turning? I have totally new respect for drag racing after going to my first Gatornationals. Truly an exhibition of controlled chaos. Just downright nasty power! I love it. -Mark

Well that's my fault and I should have known better but I was super tired at the same time.I caught myself falling asleep in the middle of typing, that is fuckin funny shit when you start typing crazy shit while trying to type normal and your head drops a bit lol.

o well, mistake made, end of the world tomorrow?

I was not aware of that.....I dont watch much for bracket racing and I have yet to bracket race but if I dial in correctly at a 9.90 and you run a 14.4 dial in then you will obviously tree up first.You will go to get ahead and then I will go later in the process to get to my time of a 9.90 dial in. Still unaware you need to cross the traps first. I dont really care to much about racing now these days anyway, no money to mod my car, no feeling to race it.

Nice job of bringing shit into the forum that was not a threat you ignorant man. I might eb ignorant in a few areas of racing and let's face it, no one is the smartest man around so we are all ignorant to a degree. You are ignorant enough to say you were gonna come to my house, well you know my reply. I waited around, so step it up already. I got a first class ticket waiting for your ass.
