Again, this thread was started by one of your own who stated what YOU do is bracket racing and that statement was supported by other stock eliminator racers that agreed. You didn’t “hear” anything from me and if your not interested in reading the opinions of others then you know what to do.

Sweet car, bye the way

can we come to an agreement and say that class racing is a glorified bracket race with a twist of taking old parts and making them haul a22 for what you are working with.

Hi Jim!

Groundstrap, because he’s always negative. Picked that up from others on here.

His name is Ed Bigley. His son, Kyle, is a really good driver in brackets and the super classes. You’ll find some stuff if you Google him. Ed? Not so much.
