No Drivers

[White91LX]

Been watching the brackets at Redline the past few weeks. From all the talk going on at this forum, I would assume there would be a bunch of Mustangs running out there but very few (3 or 4) ever show up. Since Bracket racing levels the playing field as far as the car goes, is it safe to assume that none of the Mustang owners on here can drive and most of their talk is just a bunch of BS.

[White91LX]

Yep I was just watching. I know I cant drive worth a crap but I sure thought there was a bunch on this forum that could. At least I go out and take my A$$ kicking every week and don't complain or make excuses. Will be back running as soon as new head gaskets from Cometics get here.

I am a bracket racer and Redline is my home track. Come by and say high some time. I have the Orange S10 with a primered front end and the rest is Orange.

Watched you run friday night. Made some pretty good runs and you were still going when I had to leave. I have watched you almost every week I will drop by next time. I live near Redline and go out there every chance. Trying to get my car going again, hopegully around the first of the month. Still can't figure out why so many on here keep blowing smoke and never go prove it. I know there are a few that that doesn't apply to. I know that I can't drive but I still have fun trying.

Dude, you are going to the wrong track... you need to come out to Denton.

There are a few that do brackets, but most of them do heads up.

The regulars on here run high 5s to low 7s and everything in between at those tracks....

I can't say "US" anymore since I am carless right now.

[White91LX]

I used to run at Paris every week end but Denton is a bit far (over 100 miles) and Redline is only 5 miles. See a lot more mustangs at redline on fun and grudge than on bracket night. I guess they just want to get lucky on one race and not worry about being good on every race. I am carless for the time too. Waiting on parts to get here.

Didn't say I couldn't build decent cars Grayhorse. Just said I wasn't worth a crap at driving them. The 91LX is a project I started in 1996 and am just this spring getting back to work on it, following 2 heart attacks, bypass surgery, 3 strokes, surgery to clean out neck veins, back surgery and diabetis. I think I have seen your car out there and I will drop by and say hi next time I see it. I had been there up til 2 weeks ago when I blew the head gaskets. Too much fuel pressure I think is the cause.

LMAO !!

Yep you probably had too strong of a pump and the gasket couldn't take it. Those Cometics will fix you right up!

[White91LX]

Too much fuel pressure may not be a laughing matter. This is what I have dug up in researching the problem. Car run fine up to 5# boost and had no problems. Kept the belt loose to limit boost to 5 while waiting on new injectors. Had adjustable
FMU bleeder screwed in all the way and fuel pressure showed about 55# at 5# boost. The only change before blowing head gaskets left was to install a T-Rex fuel pump. At about the same time they let go, the fuel pressure spiked up over 85#. From what I have been able to find out, the stock injectors will start to get sluggish and open slowly or very little when over 65# of pressure, and this will lean out the cylinder of those not working properly. Detonation on only some cylinders is the result. I screwed up and didn't reset the FMU when I put on the new pump, so I am a dumb ass.

[93coupett]

Not many people bracket race @ Redline on here. Most of us just come out and have a good time and talk a little shit. We usually have a few grudge matches as well. I think that the majority of us are glad that we can make a few passes w/o breaking. Most of the cars we run are not race cars. Besides Orangee holds down the fort over there on Bracket nights even though hes running a chev.:( Bring your car out on Sat. night and you will meet more people. Im sure you could also get a few heads up $$ races too.:D

[White91LX]

Saturday night sounds like something I should try. Soon as the car is fixed I will try it out. Always like to meet new people. Never did meet many people I didn't like. I had always run at Paris until getting started back this year. Redline sure is handy living only 5 miles away.

[OMEGA DOOM]

I should be out there with a new suspension set up if not this weekend the next so come by and introduce yourself!:D you can't miss my hooptie it's the black primered one!:( :D

*yawn*

IMO brackets are boring... heads up racing is where it's at!

[Tweaked Blazer]

Very True Andrew.....You really have to like the racing scene to like Bracket Racing. Redline is one of the best track's to watch though. We have 4 other track champions from other track's to go to Redline. If you know what you are looking at it makes things very interesting.
I love heads up racing dont get me wrong. It's the best.

<<<<<<<< Agrees :D

[MattB]

Brackets bore me, but since heads-up racing is getting pretty expensive to compete in, it's about the only thing I can do with my car. I just don't really have the patience to be in the sun all day boring myself to death. I won't say I suck at driving though, as I have many bracket trophies and have won a decent amount of money doing it.

[White91LX]

About the only difference I see between heads up and Brackets is in heads up, the one with the most money is going to win 90% of the time, so it gets really expensive and only proves who can spend money the fastest. With Brackets the field is leveled and a good driver can win a lot of races without having to hock the family jewels. Brackets also let you run against a much larger variety of cars. Makes it an interesting world.

[46Tbird]

Bracket racing is boring as hell. It has been very aptly named "the Communism of drag racing".

Sorry dude, but watching a 540-powered Comp dragster run 9.90s EVERY FUCKING TIME is the most ridiculous spectacle in all of sports. And the slower they move, the more boring they are.

Your car runs 8.5s? With a blower...??

[Unseen]

I used to go to Ennis back in the '90s and watch the bracket racing. Seeing the fastest cars (dragsters) launch, slow down, and then speed up, and run a high 7 sucked. As did seeing some freakin' Grand Am run a 16.0 every round putting the faster cars on the trailer did too. I'd much rather see folks run on the ragged edge trying everything they can do to go faster than see a bunch of people trying to run the same time each round. And, I would imagine the folks with the most money win in bracket racing too.

Personally, I might do some bracket racing for kicks and to get some passes in, but racing heads up is where its at. If nothing else, trying to beat your personal best times is what its all about to me.

[White91LX]

I believe you are talking about cars with the delay boxes and all the other electronics. I agree that is not racing. Using brackets to dial in the difference between a $10k motor and a $1k motor and to level out the weight is a good thing and can be really interesting. I remember times before brackets and drag racing almost died because only the rich could compete.

[White91LX]

I agree on the beating your personal best. I try to do that every time I go and the brackets work just fine for that with the added benefit that I get to try beating others who who either have more or less than I do. Nice thing is I can have fun and add to my car as I can afford it.

Shut it Dump......... I simply said they are boring. I spend all day long at Redline and sometime's get tired of sitting there and wanna go home. The 1000 dollar check at the end of the night keeps me going strong. Nothing better than busting some punk driving a rail car in my class and me bustin his ass and sending him home on the trailer. You know kinda like I have done to you........... You talk all this smack on here and we get to the track and I alway's bust your ass. Same concept, If you win all the time nobody likes you.

[screaming-eagle]

I bracket race and I agree it does suck sometimes. If your not a racing or with someone it sucks to watch. Run what you brung is alot better to watch. I enjoy both because alot of times I go to both. The only good thing about bracket racing is the one with the most money doesnt win every race. Im trying to get the big chief put in the nova for some real fun.

[White91LX]

I agree that brackets can suck at times but it is still better than watching two cars pull up to the line for heads up and 80% of the time you know who is going to win before they run. If you have seen them run before you already know better than 90% of the time who will win. If you have two cars that ate close to each other, they are definately more fun to watch but on any given night that is no more than one or two cars and after they have run, not much use coming back the next week to watch again. You already know what will happen. I was drag racing in C-gas starting in 1965 with a 65 Mustang. I won every week except when I missed a gear or something like that. That was about as boring as it could get and I stopped racing until brackets came along.
