I haven't done it primarily because my stocker is slower than the NHRA Pro ET brackets et limit (I believe 13.99 sec.). Sportsman payouts are much lower than Stock (or Pro ET), payouts are. I didn't build my car to race for $200 bucks or less (regularly). However, for now it doesn't really matter since (for the time being anyway), metro Phoenix has no tracks to race at, and thus the only bracket racing I could do would be in the No-Box class at S.I.R. in Tucson, for the IHRA. Their bracket category at least pays $550 for the winner ($700 if more than 32 cars). Only if a divisional is coming up that I can attend, would I race my car for what the Sportsman brackets pay, due to the seat time needed...regularly though? Not...

Furthermore, I don't have the pleasure of storing my racing operation where I live, and that creates more challenges with my being able to race in a state, that due to summertime heat, races late in the afternoon, until midnight...not good if the person you store your rig with doesn't have the same interest/desires...
