Boring??? You've obviously not done a lot of bracket racing. I suppose it's easy to call it boring when you don't understand all the intracacies of turning that same time lap after lap, regardless of heat, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure or a million other variables not even yet counting keeping the tune on the engine the same...... Take your car, whatever it is, and go out and put down half a dozen runs, starting at 2 PM and sometimes not finishing til 7 PM and keep them all + or - .020 sec., then tell me it's boring. Heads up racing is for very big checkbooks, and usually the biggest checkbook wins. If drag racing had not instituted the brackets and left everything heads up based on cubic inches to weight, I doubt many of us here could even afford to make a pass, let alone be a winner....Quote:

It's no longer a case of just standing on the gas and wondering what will happen.
Drag racing has not been ruined, it has only changed. Those of us who changed with it still love participating. Those who couldn't accept the changes necessarey to keep the average guy involved only bad mouth what they don't understand.....
