Default Bracket racing consistency

Sure you have to cut good lights, but your car has to perform as well.
Yesterday, my CARTEK built LS2 came through big time with 8 consecutive runs of 10.85! Which lead me into the FINALS in the Corvette Challenge!

Yep, thru time shots, & eliminations, even on 2 runs when I lifted, all #'s calculated to the 6 other full out runs of 10.85..!

So, sure I was cutting some great R/T's, but this car is consistent as you can get!

Even last week at a rental at Atco, I made 12 runs all 10.65-10.67...!

Bottom line, if you're looking to go fast, and if you want consistent, I HIGHLY recommend CARTEK!

Oh, BTW my opponent in the Finals, ALSO had his car done up by CARTEK a yr or two ago! In fact, at the end of last season, he won 14 straight rounds & appeared in 2 Finals in the same day!!!!!
