Wow Lenny under what rock have you been living under, running s/st and s/c is bracket racing! The bracket of 10.90 and 8.90. Bracket racers are the backbone of drag racing if it wasn't for them drag racing would have gone away a long time ago. NHRA remove the Modified eliminator class when they started demanding better purses and better parking spots, boom they're gone replace by Joe Lunch box super Gas and s/c and s/st to allow the little guy to come racing.I love stock, super stock and competition eliminator. I enjoyed all the super class until they went the throttle timers and all those million dollars worth of cubes to race for no money.Bracket racers sacrifice work, sleep, money, time with their families just like S. S/S so please you should think before stating something totally off the mark.Sorry Pete for highjacking yor post. CR

I thought my sarcasm would be obvious. I was wrong, and for that I apologize.

When I was racing at Englishtown, the current top 8 drivers in each bracket would get invited to the 3-4 Wednesday night super-shows. It was an honor for me to earn the right to race my POS street cars in front of a full house. They also used to run brackets at the Div1 points race at Englishtown. My first final round anywhere just happened to be in Street at the 1978 WCS race. The 8 car local fields don't have anything to do with the quotas. Other people have explained where the quotas come from.
