I doubt it; OVA1 would have found something else to try and get an advantage, instead of trying to do the right thing and run someone fair and square.

granted i've never been to this track but at my local track on bracket nights, TnT cars get one pass then have to wait for the brackets to do their thing. With that said (and if your track functions the same way as mine), how do you expect to get 3 hot laps in between the bracket cars? Looks like you'll end up having cool down periods just by default?

Maybe someone else who runs at that track will chime in? I know Orlando you won't get hot laps in unless you're the first couple there which I'm sure OVA will be sitting there 4 hours before they open to try to get them hot laps in

If memory serves, the Bracket TNT is the same as any other TNT… everyone thats testing stages up as they will… over the given time period. Plenty of time to make three passes. Odds are that we'll end up getting behind a couple other drivers, which would provide a few minutes of cool down. But no where near the half-hour nonsense.

Anyone that's run TNT knows the drill… nothing complicated about it at all.

LOL!

Yeah… What was I thinkin'? So DESPERATE FOR THE ADVANTAGE am I, that I actually require the kid show up, stage up and run three consecutive 1/8th mile passes, for a best of three contest.

It's MADNESS!

ok, at my track up here (Atco) when they run the TnT guys, they just run the line (1 pass each) then move on to the next set of cars. Then they just rotate through the lanes all night. Sometimes it's 15 minutes between runs and sometimes (like on bracket nights) its almost an hour/1.5 hours between.

Yeah, I took to referring to the Brackets as the "Race and Wait"s. I got into it to the extent that one can, without REALLY getting into it. Those guys are serious… and its amazing, in terms of ALL the processes they have to even get close to being competitive.

I tend to just enjoy staging up and throwin' the hammer as many times as ya can before the track closes. So I ended up runnin' home to momma, back on TNT nights.

He's coming to you and he's running 1/8 mile. All he is asking for is some time between passes to let his car cool down.

The chance to defend a fellow Bowtie loyalist regardless of how ridiculous his requests are for the race, right on cue HiO!

In what world is three consecutive laps considered ridiculous? Not in the real world, brother. Not even CLOSE!

It's more of HiO not chirping up except for when he can add in a dig about a Ford or gloat on a Bowtie.
