Jason, Wondering why you guys never run any big dollar bracket races around here ? (the $10000 races @ Sanair or Luskville ?)

Hey Tim. After running at some of the tracks down in the States, it's hard to race up here. Grand Bend is nice, our schedule just never worked this year. We have a lot of fun with the NHRA throttle stop stuff, and try to hit bracket races in Florida or at Atco whenever possible.

Sanair ... my knees go through the dashboard at the finish line, and that was with a 4-link dragster. So when I try to kill 20 mph by stabbing the brakes as hard as possible, it gets dangerous when wheels are off the ground. Plus, the only french I can remember is "J'aime le pizza."

I dont want to sound like an azz but its really about the driver and the car set-up. Way to many cars are maintained and driven by incompetent people. Brakes are very important items and I think more attention should be paid to them than that last .010 in ET. I can easily go 130+ in my bracket car and SAFELY scrub 10+mph and .035 with no safety concerns what so ever. If you need more than that you need to rethink your plan of attack............



JMO of course....
