Default Re: Moving from bracket to Stock Eliminator

Get a copy of the rule book read it and know it. Know all the underlying rules that build to Stock Eliminator and beyond. Make it work for you in place of hindering you. It's just a point of view to decide to take.

Know the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System. Period.

Study combinations and know the one you choose. Talk to others who run it or and/or know more than you. If given advice at least try it sometimes it's a process that's layered. One piece of advice builds on to the next. Generally if you ask for advice then go back for more not trying what was already given you're a tire kicker and not serious. You have to work on your car!

The most important thing is to race, get the car out there. As for performance the bottom line is simple:

The Bracket Racer. Be happy with the performance you have and race, suffer and accept the consequences of the ladder and heads up races.

The #1 Qualifier / Record Setter. Do the work and spend the money to set records and be the fastest in the country. It's not all spending money it has to be spent correctly and the associated work done the best you can and better. Be ready to chase your tale to protect the combination to keep the advantage you worked and spent for.

The Bottom Line (this is my opinion only others may vary) To be competitive in the eliminator have to be able to go a second under your index where ever you race. It forces the competition (and you) to accept hitting a AHFS trigger in a heads up (no easy HU runs against you) plus it allows you move around the ladder if you choose to play the ladder game.

Good Luck and Many Win Lights
