Re: Class versus brackets winning a round
I got a few of those Class (not eliminator) Wally trophies, can you get one of those bracket racing? Please tell me where. I don't remember any shoe polish on my car during those Class runs, was I bracket racing? I'm confused......
If its just a bracket race, what am I doing wrong? Someone, please help. I lost a few of them "heads up" rounds this year during the eliminator, was it because I didn't have any shoe polish on the window for those runs? Since it's just a bracket race, someone please help me with my dial in my next heads up run, please..........pretty please....Also, I can't figure out how the other person broke out more, going further under that dial/index line on the time slip, and still beat me in a "bracket race"....maybe I should just give this **** up....its too confusing..... When I go to a race with Class, I go to win Class first, then the eliminator (sorry Billy, but on the bright side there are still some young racers still performance oriented or maybe we just hate our money). Some chose differently and that is fine, some have different goals, but it isn't just a bracket race. There were lots of heads up runs this year for the guys chasing points that had a real impact, just like the previous year. |

Like second round with Bridgewater and Cummings at Vegas. May have saved Burton's bacon!

Re: Class versus brackets winning a round
Matt,
You make some good points. HEADS UP is HEADS UP no way around it, but when you put shoe polish on the window it's still a bracket race. THose class win Wallys are neat too, but you can get a wally or "iron girl" at bracket races now. I have 21 from IHRA races ranging from bracket races, division races,National events, Division champs, and World champs. IHRA does'nt give wallys for class wins they give plaques. I've got boxes of those too. Got my first one in 1980. Guys don't get me wrong. I love class cars. I have all the respect in the world for those of you that do that kind of racing. I just wish you would show bracket racers the same. Chip Johnson |

For me building a bracket car is easy, follow less than a page worth of safety rules and that's it. What's the fun in that??? Class racers get as much enjoyment out of their cars themselves as they do driving them. I'm not saying that bracket racing is easy, just that mechanically, they are easy. No challenge at all. Hell i could have a nice C5 corvette to drive every day, that would be a great bracket car.

Re: Class versus brackets winning a round
How many of you guys would class race if you had to win class to race on Sunday the way it was back in the good ole days?
I remember those days. I bet a lot of you don't. I also bet you would put street tires on those Camaros and Novas and show up at the Local Sonic on Saturday night instead of trying to out run those DP's and CJ's |

Re: Class versus brackets winning a round
This whole subject can be summed up in one sentence:
Class racing isn't for everyone.
