Well Chip, I think I would feel a lot better dropping $100 for a night of bracket racing and at least going down the track 3 or 4 times that night if not more..

I have a motorhome, so I save the expense of a hotel.. and shopping is a little cheaper than eating out, but I averaged spending $500 to $700 a weekend for Divisional races between entry, crew, gas, food race fuel and what ever, for one qualifying shot and go into first round.. more than one shot was not that frequent cause SG was usually last out and the first to get bumped..

Now, as far as Class Racers being easy pickens for you bracket guys, what do you think Super racing is all about??.. bracket racing with an index.. I can't wait to get back to the bracket tracks and have all you guys sense blood in the water..

Doesn't look too bad for the D1 guys.. and I guess it depends a lot on how NHRA is going to handle Out of Region races.. it sure is a long way for a D2 guy to travel to Epping..

great....now, when do they release the schedule of which classes will be competing at which national events?

Charlie,
I think I got a pretty good handle on both Bracket racing and .90 racing.
2010 IHRA Box e.t. World Champ
2011 IHRA Hot Rod (10.90) World Champ.
In my opinion bracket racing is much tougher. I'm not taking away from the .90 crowd because they will slit your throat too.
Reasons I think they are tougher:
1) Double entries
2) Buybacks
3) More cars = more chances to lose

Looks to be also that Virginia is a 2 day event (Fri-Sat) which might bring in a bigger crowd of cars since we will have Sunday to make that long tow back home.

And this is different from normal how?

I know Virginia is included as a Jegs All Star home race, wondering if Maple Grove is the final race closing out the points being applied to your total or is it the first race of the following season?
