Tires will not be that big of a factor at Norwalk, the track is just that good.

Weight will be the equalizer IMHO.

That's funny, half of the Ultra street cars around here would skull drag you down the track with smaller tires and a lot more weight.

[Flyin79bird]

I'd be in except the stock rear frame rail rule **cks me and adding 100lbs ballast...I've already smacked a 29/10.5 on the back to run Limited Street...don't see any difficulty in changing to the 275 Mickey Pro and a little chassis adjustment. Oh well.

GTO George

A bracket racer uses a timed reaction. Not a true reaction.

A .400 pro tree, is a physical, true reaction.

All you got to do is step up to the plate on a .400 tree.

Again someone doesn't understand Bracket Racing. We react off the top bulb the delay is only there to delay movement of the car for the rest of the countdown on the tree 1.5 sec. Any mid. 8 to 7 sec Car is going to leave hard enough to get a good reaction time on a .400 pro tree. Where we have the advantage is we practice consistanticy off the top bulb. We will do it again and again and again.

We'll you can't. If fact on the same day same track you won't be with in 4 to 5 tenths Holmes and my car won't even break a sweat! I'll drive it to and from the race and I won't have to pull plugs and I'll do it again and again and again.

Of all the good ideas you've had....this is not one of them. Give the power adder guys more power and the best tire. No

[Chris Uratchko]

Oooh... I see. So you got one of them delay computers to do it for you. That's cool if you're into that.

Yes Sir but I was brought up foot braking. NHRA changed the rules on me in 1991 so I followed suit.

George, no offecnce but, this is a thread about heads up racing, not bracket racing.

Being you dont run heads up, and dont run small tires, I'm sorry to say you are making yourself look very foolish.

Heads up with small tires and power adders is a totaly different game, you just cant compaire it to bracket racing.

Again, I mean no harm.

Not comparing just answering questions . Seriously cutting a light and reacting to the top bulb has nothing to do with small tires. I've seen there 60' times and they are pretty damn good there is no reason not to cut a consistant light (except blowing the tire off at the starting line and then you are screw anyways) you can make all the excuses you want . It's all reacting to the top bulb. So no offence Chris .

I spoke with Pete today as well, we hashed a lot of things out. The bottom line is we need to talk and get him final rules with in 2 weeks and this will be a go for this year.!

PM me your # or you can call me 248-259-6696

Do you have to have a Pontiac engine for this class? Not that I have any intent of running this class but just asking the question.

I think should consider keeping it 1/8 mile cuz of the guys that already run Ultra, they are geared for 1/8 and can't run it out that back.

if that's the case then i want the pro 275. if the track isn't good for radials then the slick is a huge advantage.

What Pete and I spoke about was Pontiac body or Pontiac motor. Either or.

We also spoke about the actual race to be on Sunday. 2 qualifiers on Saturday and 2 on Sunday and Sunday race. This way the NA guys can get in on the 2 qualifying rounds on Sunday and race this as well if they choose and they will have Saturday night to pull out the 900 lbs of weight from there car.
