If it isn't than leave your shoe polish home and race off National Records....with some sort of different break out rules like we did in my JR.Stock days.....
And if you run under the record to win a National event it becomes a new record.........
Redlight rules would be the least of your worries....LOL

But the pertinent part of that esxchange is this: Handicapped racing in Class racing treats the competitors IDENTICALLY with Bracket racing... IDENTICALLY.
So, the unfair practices that go on under the auspices (look it up, Ed F.) of the rules "enjoyed" by the Stock/Super-Stock racers are also visited upon the Bracket racers.
No difference that I am aware of.
If EITHER of you EDs" can show me a difference, I'd appreciate it.
I don't think there IS any... which simply means that I (as a Bracket Racer) suffer the same unnecessary unequal red light jeopardy that Class racers face when they run a car with a quicker dial-in.
THAT is why all the pissin' and moanin' I do on this forum makes sense: the Brackets likely won't change their M.O. until NHRA does.... which could be never (and, probably will.)
