My home track has decided to make up a rule about breakouts.

"As of July 9th, MRP will be following the rules for breakouts as are printed in the NHRA 2011 rulebook on Page 6, with the following exception. This rule will apply to all Bracket Catagories. If a competitor breaks out of his posted index, he will be warned the first time and will be disqualified the second time. This warning will apply for the year, not for each individual race."

The head of tech thinks that the rule for the .90 class cars should apply to the brackets cars also and has rammed this down our throats.


I have been fighting the good fight on this one trying to make them see how the rule does not apply to bracket cars but have not gotten them to back down yet. It's on the team forum at www.teammission.com if any one has any input.
Phillip, please read your post again, you've asked for some feedback and people have obliged. You might not like what you're hearing but you're getting feedback, plus you're receiving quality answer from one of the most respected Bracket Racer and writer in the Drag Racing community in Bret Kepner. I would listen to what he has to say if he gaved me his opinion I would be listening, he's definitely not a smarty pants. We all understand your problem, you have to just figure who has the bigger stick at the end.Claude Ruel
