You know it! There's quiet a few on here that bracket race. I try to run every weekend.

I gave up my ole Ken Keir Dragster for a 77' Vega then gave it up to drive for a guy locally then got my 99' Camaro and just recently took it off the street to run No/E and Super Pro.

Last year I made three races in No/E and got one Runner-up and then Won the Razorback Nationals .

I do travel. I've been up to (Bristol, TN) (Mobile, AL) (Memphis, TN) (Hattiesburg(?), MS) and a couple more places. I usually run here locally at the 1/8 mile track though.

Heard anything on how they're doing the Million Dollar race this year?

Slo TA

no havent heard much on it.
yes i go to Bristol TN every year for the World Footbrake Challenge my uncle (jared pennington and his friend Steve stites) put the race on this will be the 4th year if you like footbraking thats the place to do it that is if you can handle it top dogs there i have been traviling a lot this year went to gulport MS for KOC a feww weeks ago just got back from Montgomery last week and going to Battlefeild dragway this week for 1k in MS.

I just got my lil' 99' camaro with a 370CI motor at 3600lbs, runs 6.60's all day .

Taking a little weight out of it now and just put in a TH400 with a brake and 4.33 gears with a Neal Chance 9" converter. We'll see how it does in about two weeks once I get it back together.

I've been staying here local trying to get the set-up pretty close before I go off anywhere for right now. I usually look up on Drag Race Results to see where some of the bigger races are.

As far as I know I'm the youngest Super Pro winner to win a DRR race at 15 years old .

Slo TA

yeah my first year out of junor dragsters i won 4 races in the big cars at 16 and 3 of them were $1,000 or more

Pure bracket racer here. I run Route 66 in Joliet IL NHRA points. I won the championship last year there. I also run IHRA at Byron Dragway in Byron IL. I try to do some traveling when we can. I like to hit as many bigger dollar no box races in the surrounding states.

Route 66 pays 1000 to win for Pro ET.
Byron does a run off between the box and no box cars for the big money. Sat pays 2500 and Sun pays 5000

Been bracket racing for 18 years. We usually run for $400-1000 in Florida, although SGMP in Cecil, GA had a footbrake race that paid $1500 each race for 3 races over a December weekend. All three vehicles below have been bracket raced, some just with more success than the other....

I do a little bracket racin. We race all over Texas(Kinda a big state).

Our 1st points race of the year is March 27 & 28 at Houston Raceway Park (NHRA). This year they are paying $800.00 to win N/E. We also race at Pine Valley Raceway (IHRA) for points. If the car count is over 40 cars it pays $2,000.00 to win.

Looking forward to the start of the season next weekend.

Really? I didn't know you ran at PineValley. My ex girlfriends parents own the track. Well I guess the Bailey's still own it? Maybe I'll be able to meet you there at a big bracket race down there.
