Summit Super Series runoffs = Race of Champions. That was among the races completed on-track before it rained.

I won a bracket race at Quaker City in 2004 when they just pulled cards!
Got rained out after first round, so if you were still in, they gave you a card then put them all together and "ran" the rounds.

...didn't have to worry about reaction time or lane choice!

Re: IHRA Divsion 3 Bracket Finals Question
 

If there was really no opportunity to race Sunday or Monday, and people chose that coming back wasn't an option, then I'm not sure a practice tree tournament was the worst idea. BUT HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU RUN IT ON A PRO TREE SET SUCH THAT NO ONE CAN RED LIGHT? ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?

My son was there running "no box". Shouldn't street and "no box" have left off the bottom in their tournament? And if you do a pro tree, how can you not be able to set your own roll out? So whomever has the fastest reflexes is the winner? What a joke...

My son and I are both a little on the slow side (insert punch line here). He never had a chance. I worked on the car for two days straight to get it ready. He worked all season to qualify, spent the money to get there, and endured the nasty conditions. Never had a chance. Potentially, the bracket finals champ is some jackass that can't stage, can't drive the stripe, can't dial, and has a complete pos for a car...but he's got fast reflexes!!!

I have no idea what in the hell the track operators were thinking...what a bull**** deal...

Re: IHRA Divsion 3 Bracket Finals Question
 

This is hilarious. Are you kidding me? I heard the track op vote was 5-4 in favor. Truthfully, I think I would have just packed up and left. Half the race is because of the car you have and they just took it right out of the equation. Where was the common sense?

Re: IHRA Divsion 3 Bracket Finals Question
 

in my entire 34 years of racing, i have never heard of such a bad idea. i feel bad for the racers who worked long hours, gave up weekends and family time to qualify for the bracket finals, and to have it end like that.

there had to be another way.

Re: IHRA Divsion 3 Bracket Finals Question
 

I agree with this 100%. I was there and participated in this joke of a bracket finals. I am not as quick as a lot of guys releasing like that...I make up for it in other ways in the race car ON THE TRACK...nothing I could do with a set rollout pro tree. I built a new motor in my garage Thursday night after loosing a roller lifter/cam just to have the race be decided in the pavillion on a tree.

BTW, Dan, I met Thomas at our practice tree (for fun with adjustable roll-out) race on Saturday night. Very nice kid and I had a good time talking to him. He also took a good bit of our money hitting that practice tree.

Here it is, ALL electronic drag racing game!! No trailers, no cars, just an electronic box. I thought it would take about 10 years to come to this, but, here we are. I agree with Dan,...just the quickest reflexes? I guess you will need lots of Mountain Dew (the soft drink), cocaine, and Red Bull to win a race. Unreal.

Re: IHRA Divsion 3 Bracket Finals Question
 

I am still wondering how much stripe the winners were taking. LMFAO.

Dan, That chevelle wagon was awesome in the gamblers race and was top notch.
