i know, but really what do you think the chance of my 14.5 sec car actually making the semi's in a bracket comp?

i've actually always wanted to try bracket racing...i cut a mean light but im not sure that would make up for my slowness

Very good actually, if I was racing for money and had a pick between two cars I'd take a slower automatic car over a faster manual ALL DAY. When you bracket race consistency wins races, not horsepower. If it was a staggered start heads up class that's a different story cause you can sandbag for days, but it's not.

Volvo FTW! i can't wait to get this pig up and running good, this will be my fast car as well as my hadling car, as the S10 doesn't handle all that great

That's the key to bracket. If you can cut a light, all you need to do is run as close to your dial in without breaking out. You should be able to get a good idea for what your car will run by taking only a couple passes. After all, it is an auto right? (meaning it should be very consistent)

I'd sign up but RWD domestics are out.

yes my car is an auto.

problem is, my runs get progressively slower all night, i will drop probably 3 tenths over the course or 5 runs. so that would not be good for trying to stay close to my dial in right?

i'll probably still go up and play around in the test n tune.

If you have an idea of what it will change each round, you can change the dial on the car between rounds.

Not sure they didn't complete the 2010 rules or prices yet, when I find that out i'll post it. This is last years, not bad considering wed/fri street nights aren't much cheaper and you win NOTHING!

@ Shaggy, then just raise your dial a tenth as needed and cross your fingers!

you can change it between rounds?

did not know that...and the amount of time that it increases depends on how long the car sits between rounds..more time to cool off=better ET

Oh I'll be there!
