Next time YOUR class racing in stock and the car along side of you has the same letters, click your heels together 3 times while repeating "I'm bracket racing, I'm bracket racing". Then let me know if you advanced to the next round and what number you dialed with the shoepolish, oh wait, we don't use shoepolish in a heads up or a class eliminations run because it's not the bracket race you think it is.

The racers who think stock is "just a bracket race" are those who change classes to avoid any chance of a heads up run or those that never go any rounds and have a very low probability of being in one. The winners know a heads up is likely and prepare the best they can.

I invite you to any D1 race, bring a "D" car and we can "bracket" race all day.

And I guess the Mopars are not legal? They pay their money, they build their cars and they meet all of the rules but they're "ruining" racing for everybody else. Boy have I heard this story before, as the old saying goes, history repeats it's self. Seen how many cars both in Sportsman and Pro have a "M" or "Ford" supported on them. NHRA knows. When the money leaves this time that may become a problem in this economy. And don't no one get me wrong I was racing a chevy against the Mopars the first time this occurred.

And right in the middle of all the comparisons to a Stock/Superstock legal car and a "bracket car" is the fact that the hood has to be exactly correct. Any body wondering why there is now so much conversation with NHRA and UNLEASHED and maybe Pinks All Out. Seen NHRA's website today?
