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.
