Around here we call that (FAST Eight) they run at least 3.80's in the 18.
Darn, that's Pro Mod territory.

OP should start this same thread on Yellowbullet.
I see you over there. love the sig. lol
Op has issues
One of my favorite times at the track was during a TNT, my car is always run NT clocks off. Ended up paired with a bracket car, big tire, etc race car. I treed him and drilled his *** to the 1/8 then grabbed brakes knowing it's easy to find out what his car runs.
He pitted 2 over from us.... his dad lit into him for getting treed by " a grudge racer dirtbag" If that's the bracket attitude please keep to yourself!
I did offer to run it back if he'd race a dirtbag for some small cash
****, even I've won a round!
Still uncertain as to the point of this thread.
Being a poor guy that's over 2 hours away from the drag strip. Any trip to the track is a blessing. I've bracket raced and it sucks. Nothing like cutting a good light run on your dial in and lose. You've got the gas to floor when the person that gave you a 3 second lead passes you then let's off so they don't break out. Boring!!!!! I like heads up racing even if I can't afford it. So TnT and track rental days are the best. I just like pounding on my car in a safe place. It's all about having fun with a muscle car.
IMO the most important thing is that guys are at the track enjoying their cars. No matter if it's heads up, brackets or T&T. My ¢.02.
On Friday night tnt were are tnt ing...I am trying to get the cars to run faster...
on Saturday night bracket race...trying to run consistence....not touching anything unless it needs attention....
and either way...you are at the track racing....
and we all would love to run heads pro stock...but my bank account will not support..
Its all about having fun and I would say anyone that participates in brackets, heads up and tnt are keeping the tracks going instead of closing down.
Looks like the OP stirred up a wasp nest.
I go to TNT and bracket race for fun. Everyone pays the $s to run their car and have the same right to run what you have. I support the track and hope it stays open for a long time to come. Progress is encroaching closer and closer to the track every year and I fear the increased noise bitching from future homeowners is eventually going to doom the track.
Maybe at tnt i,m not showing you what lights i can pull so I can sucker your *** in later!
A time slip from my first T&T. You can see i noted it as my sixth pass (the best one!) Look at that reaction time?!! BEHOLD- my 60 footing !!!! Come get some!!! I'm a (REAL) racer!! LOL
Hey, I had to start somewhere...

it's a good 10 second car ------- in the 8th :happy1:
I guess brackets/index racing will dominate if there aren't any true Heads Up classes (with rules) for slower heavier less expensive to build cars, and I mean first to cut the beam wins, the faster you run the better, I can understand why we don't have that here in the UK although we did, but a bit surprised that you guys don't seem to have it either, anything HU seems to be in the 6>7sec zone or in the 4's>3's for 1/8th racing, thats out of your average racers budget. I wonder if there were HU classes like that how many would ditch brackets/index racing for it?......then it would be back to what D-racing is really all about and throttle stops/backing off/leaving after the other car would be a thing of the past, surely most would want to run their cars all out to their max performance in a race where both of you left at the same time and were on a performance par, then it would be down to tuning skills/chassis set up etc., and not money.

So to the OP I say if your not racing heads up then your not really racing.
if you cut a good light that is better then the other guys light....and run on your dial in...how do you lose?
Agreed. Bracket racers always seem to be ready to help someone out.I've found that bracket racers are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Years ago I fooled with roundy round dirt track cars, saw more fist fights there than the years I ran the bars.
No, just 9's and 10's.I wonder if the op runs 9's - 12's with same car. lol brackets can be fun. lol
You guys act like I said I didn't like TNT guys or something.Op has issues

But he is talking about setting some rules weight, engine size, etc and then run heads up. When you have limitations costs can be controlled somewhat and the best tuner and driver usually win.
