Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing
Then you're just going to the wrong bracket races. Most big money bracket races offer outstanding prep.

Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing
I bracket race my Stocker periodically at my local track. It seems that more and more, they are leaning towards 1/8 racing, which is disappointing. It is very difficult to be competitive in a Stocker nowadays in the 1/8 mile when I'm foot braking and actually manually shifting my car, while my competitors are letting go of their trans-brake buttons and using air or electric shifters down track.

Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing
Actually here in eastern North Carolina some of the best bracket races take place this time of year. Starting in November thru February the 2 local tracks have about one big race a month each, they are well attended and the payouts are pretty decent.

Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing
I agree that is the way it should be the way it is now you are just bracket racing.

Re: Bracket Racing vs Class Racing
#1 isn't a con. Generally Bracket Racing pays better for much less entry fee. Probably because the track doesn't have a 12 people making 500k a year.
