Do I want to race?
Will stock 6.1s have any reason at all to race?
If the 6.1 class is going to be full of cars with heads and cams and even strokers will there be any chance of competeing?

In Time Trials you are trying to see how quick your car will run. Time Trials are all done with both cars leaving the starting line at the same time and the faster car gets to the finish line first. NOW on Bracket Racing the slower car takes off first and then the quicker car takes off last and trys to catch the first one WITHOUT breaking out.
For Example you dial in at 13.00, you take off and 1.20 seconds later the other car takes off, he has to catch you, and beat you to the finish without red lighting, or going quicker than his dial in of 11.80.
So YES you want to race.......I will even be giving a Class and a Demonstration on Saturday Morning. Here is a link from NHRA:

We would like to start getting a head-count to see who is interested. PM or post if you plan to just hang out or think you might like to run the strip.
