I wonder how far away we are from bracket racing like this.
Could you imagine trying to lift and not breakout on 3 other cars lol.

Are you racing all three other people, or just the guy in the lane with your tree? If the former, how do you draw up a bracket like this? I mean, what's it look like on paper? Does CompuLink software understand this? And then, just how does it work? You have to wait for three other clowns to stage? What does "courtesy stage" mean here? Does everyone have to go -pre- before anyone goes -stage-? I have to look across way over there to see if I can go in? And when do you get up on the chip? Again, I have to look all the way down the line? Ugh... What if there's an ugly accident? Instead of someone breaking something and veering hard taking out just one other car, they can take out three other people? Then, what about the shutdown/turnoff? Who goes where/when? Imagine all the parachute tangles that are possible. Hard enough to keep out of the way of one other person some times... This seems like a real cluster to me. ![]()

I know you were joshing. But Bruton must think it has a chance, or why would he build the track that way??

So... they're running in the left pair of lanes all day, all weekend for that matter. I'm getting a feel for it, I understand that the left lane of those two is better for us, the transition is cleaner. I bust my gut to get lane choice, choose the left lane, set up everything for the left lane, then some clown goes out and sprays the right lane with 15 quarts of 50 weight. We get moved to the right pair of lanes that no car has been down in three days. My setup is worthless and my lane choice is ??
Ugh... ![]()
