Go to a fast bracket race and get back to me.
You are just shitting yourself. But don’t try that with me.
Here is something I’ve learned over the years.
People self segregate. At the races you hang with people who do what you do.
I don’t go to races to hang with guys that do what you do. So you just don’t see it.
Walk up to a door car running say 8.50’s and ask them if they shift at 6500. They don’t.
Every ******* engine builder I know is building bracket engines that 8k plus is where they make power, but they aren’t Chrysler ****.
Get a grip. There is a whole world out there that doesn’t like tractor engines.
“ fast bracket race”… lol what are you talking about.
My home track is home to the million dollar race winner, national bracket champs in two classes, and a very, very competitive bracket program that most years wins the Divisional.
I know a ton of the racers, and most of them aren’t turning 8k.
You aware 95% of the racing these days is done on the 1/8, right?
Most of the guys running 8.50’s that Bracket race( 5.50’s or so in the 1/8) are in roadsters or ultra light 2500 pound novas, etc, with Lexan, fiberglass, gutted interiors etc, etc. they don’t need to make huge power to run those kind of numbers.
You seem to be confusing some of the index classes with bracket cars.
Our track has had the million, and other elite bracket races( like a 250k coming up) that draws all the studs. You would be surprised how mild a lot of the motors are because they want to run a certain number, and have motors built to run that number as economically as possible. In many, many cases the motors are mild.
