My son was there running "no box". Shouldn't street and "no box" have left off the bottom in their tournament? And if you do a pro tree, how can you not be able to set your own roll out? So whomever has the fastest reflexes is the winner? What a joke...

My son and I are both a little on the slow side (insert punch line here). He never had a chance. I worked on the car for two days straight to get it ready. He worked all season to qualify, spent the money to get there, and endured the nasty conditions. Never had a chance. Potentially, the bracket finals champ is some jackass that can't stage, can't drive the stripe, can't dial, and has a complete pos for a car...but he's got fast reflexes!!!

I have no idea what in the hell the track operators were thinking...what a bull**** deal...

I agree with this 100%. I was there and participated in this joke of a bracket finals. I am not as quick as a lot of guys releasing like that...I make up for it in other ways in the race car ON THE TRACK...nothing I could do with a set rollout pro tree. I built a new motor in my garage Thursday night after loosing a roller lifter/cam just to have the race be decided in the pavillion on a tree.

BTW, Dan, I met Thomas at our practice tree (for fun with adjustable roll-out) race on Saturday night. Very nice kid and I had a good time talking to him. He also took a good bit of our money hitting that practice tree.
