I was talking to my Dad and complaining....what i do best.....to him about how I had to race two 19 sec cars in brackets at etown in my attempt to run pts one Sunday afternoon this season... He cant understand bracket racing. To him....and me...its so rediculous that you often have to hit the brakes to win. The fact that you have to race in Street ET against cars from 12.0-19.0 and auto and manual is rediculous to him as well.
Bracket racing doesnt bother me as much as racing slow automatic cars or trucks does. Its got to be so much easier...IT IS much easier to drive a slower car and then one you dont have to shift is even better. Then there's the electronic BS that I wont even go into. Hell YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO CUT THE LIGHT ANYMORE.....and do the tracks...does etown make sure people arent running electronics in the street class???? i dont think so.
I guess there is a need for bracket racing because there are so many different kinds of cars out there in this day and age, but why not have a class for automatic cars and another for manuals? wHY NOT have more classes...like 11.00-13.99 14.0-16.99 ,17.00 and up??????
My Dad was telling me that back in the day when he was frequenting Etown...no one wanted to run an automatic car because they are slower than a manual!
Now we have got to the point where people will bring the slowest automatic car OR TRUCK they can find to the track so they can win. WHAT A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT MUST FEEL LIKE!
GO BRACKET RACING!
I've become so annoyed this season at Sundays at Etown and the way Racing is set up every where. Its one thing to get beat by someone who races all the time and is good. Its entirely another thing to get beat by someone who has nothing to do but sit in their 17sec truck and mash the pedal on time.
