i beg to differ... there are just as many racers that run in a "footbrake" or "No-e" class and delay boxes are illegal. there is more to bracket racing than big block dragsters.... i still have no idea how some people consider bracket racing different from stock/SS yea there are more rules as far as motor and car combo but the 99% of the rules on the track are exactly the same....
I dont consider this particular car extremly competitive in the "Box" classes.However it's as good as anybodys in the Footbrake classes.Our Footbrake class pays the same as our Pro class.And I dont have any desires to jump in to the S/Pro class where I can watch dragsters in the mirror chase my little Duster down at 150MPH plus!
I thought footbraking would prepare me to drive my first stocker someday. But now you guys are hanging buttons all over your cars.-----sorry different debate.
Yesterday I took my control arm rubber stoppers completly out,Dropped the front end a little more,Installed 2nd throttle return spring,dropped front tire press to 22.
Going to T&T tonight----- Car may be For Sale tommorow!
Will also get a couple .5 pro trees Thats going to be ugly!!
