Default Re: $50,000 World Footbrake Challenge

Stock and Super Stock racers take note. The 2008 World Footbrake Challenge will be held at Bristol Dragway the weekend following the national event there. It will be Memorial Day weekend (May 23rd-25th) and it will be the single largest bottom bulb cash payday in the world. No buttons of any kind will be allowed on the wheel and no rev limiters as starting line enhancers (except for stick cars). All of you great bottom bulbers know where to leave without the button anyway and we look forward to having some of the great class racers attend the event. For more information on this great race , call 205-612-3502 , 662-837-8166 or simply go to www.worldfootbrakechallenge.com. We hope to see some of you in Bristol.

The competition was nuts down there this year. I watched all day Saturday, and it was very impressive.

Check me on this Michael, but I do believe the worst winning reaction time at 8 cars was like .005 or .006, around there.

Worst winning reaction time .005/.006...Man I thought you footbrake guys couldnt be competitive aginst a button. Only button guys can cut lights like that! Or maybe.......stocker guys can take advice from the bracket guys. It only proves that gettin rid of the button wont make a difference!

Can you enter the "Footbrake Race" with your Stocker if you have your two-step button mounted on the brake pedal per 2008 NHRA rules,or is this still not considered Footbraking?

Don't look at me. I've noted on several occassions that I've whacked my share of Box cars over the years. That doesn't mean that Stock should allow delay boxes. I think the World Footbrake Challenge showed that it's not so much Footbrakers crying about 2-steps, but 2-step guys crying that they can't race without them! Props to Lee Zane and the other scant few that bothered to show up to support one of the best races ever contested.

2-steps are not permitted. I'm sure you could just disconnect the button, but double-check with Jared Pennington or Steve Stites, the race promoters.
