Bracket Racing vs Class Racing

[MikeMoller]

#7- Nothing against bracket racing. Having been brought up around sports with lots of rules/regs, I liked the challenge of selecting and building a specific car within the context of rules/regs, make it competitive,hopefully without breaking the bank. There has been plenty of sanctioned races to go to between NHRA and IHRA even with the demise of local tracks running stock and super stock as regular programs(ancient history). However, with the rules as they are today, and the demise of IHRA, looks like it is better to build a bracket car. Easier / cheaper to build and maintain, can compete at any local track most weekends, no concerns about getting HP or losing a heads up race cause you are just not fast enough, no worries about tired motors, etc. All around cheaper racing, although lower purses.I bet NHRA won't be to far behind getting rid of stock and super stock, replacing it with some type of 'stock appearing' bracket class or classes, say 0.00-10.99 and 11.00 and slower with rear tire limit, current body and chassis mod limits, and safety requirements.
They would probably keep 'factory stock' - if you want to call it that.
Only one man's opinion.
