Default Bracket Racing Info

Ok, so yesterday I went and got my first taste of watching Bracket Racing, and I have quite a few questions. First off, it seems that running consistantly and having a good reaction time is more important than overall speed?? If you run a speed better than you ran in time trials do you lose or are you allowed to run a better time just not A LOT better?? What kind of car is a good set-up for bracket racing?? Does your car just have to meet the requirements of the tack as far as tech inspection, or is there a set rulebook just for bracket racing???

Sorry if this has already been addresed, I did a search and couldn't find anything

Yes consistancy is more important than speed.

You just want your car to hook as good as possible.

Big tire, low stall, an auto, best reaction time possible, weather indicator and **** loads of practice.
