Its amazing how fast bracket cars have gotten
 

I raced at Vegas 1/8 mile event,third rd I dial 6.71,my competitor dials 4.42.I go red, by .004,he goes perfect,.000,I run rite on,6.710 at 101 mph,he goes 4.433 on his 4.42 at 158 mph.This is 1/8 mile racing.He went by me so fast I thought I was PARKED!

We had a Jeg's Super Quick race here this past weekend. Guys were slowing their cars down to run 4.50 in the 1/8.

We had a guy in a Colbalt running Super Pro 1/4 with us. I think I saw him go 7.37 @ 186.

I dont consider my car fast anymore in the bracket world .. I remember once last year I was dialed 7.47 (1/4) and went back to get dial-in of the door car behind me. 7.12 ... talk about coming on ya quick. H ewas 9 thou package also.

Some bracket cars are running faster than prostock was running 20 years ago.

:D I been there.....freakin' dragsters.

I used to be able to make Quick 16 events with the 385 in my altered, nowadays running 7.90's, I don't bother to back up to the trailer. I started putting together a nasty 434 but it is only going to be a short amount of time before I won't be able to make the show with that.

Back in the day @ Holly Springs if they didnt have enough cars in footbrake they'd let motorcycles run in it.

One night I had to run a turbochargered bike that dialed in a 475 :shock: .

My car was running 750's, talk about flying by me, DAMN that shiit was dangerous. He broke out :x

I just received an email from a Stock Eliminator friend that was at Speedworld in Az one night and he saw aan Alcohol Dragster dial 6.40 and raced a 4 door Dart that dialed 17.50,1/4 miles times,and it was dark.WOW I thought my bracket racing is crazy,thats just plain STUPID!

That digger hits you from behind and he would be sitting in your passanger seat. Kinda tough to hit the brakes on the big end thinking you got that covered. Must feel like your chained to a post when he goes by......

on some weekends Q 16 will break into the 6's most of the time it's in the low 7's here at noproblem raceway.
