Default Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing

Something else that hasn't been mentioned ... We bracket raced for a decade before buying a class car ... One thing that we did with our bracket car from the first spring race, till the last one in the fall.... Don't touch it ..! Run the valves, change the oil and race it ... Every single race ...Week end, and week out .. Then we tried class racing ...The true "class" racing method.... Being fast.. .Fast as your wallet will allow anyways .. Now it seems every single race we show up at, we have a different car under us ... Different carbs,convertors, transmission gears, camshafts, rear end gears, fuels, timing curves , fuel maps, and on and on ... Plus the weight of the car changes dramatically because of the changing air density,as your trying to not get your combo hit .... And lets throw in a smaller throttle body plate and restrict some air flow ... Its just not the same deal.. There's no consistency, and that's what bracket racing is ...consistency ....Of course it can be done ,but if your striving to keep your car fast, and continuing to get faster... its certainly harder .
