so what are the rules, like if you are 13+ and you run a 12.99 you get booted? because my best so far is 13.55, but i hope to be right on the line between 12.90s and low 13s.

Yep, if you enter the 13 sec+ bracket and run a 12.99 you DQ (disqualify) out

Its bracket racing. If you dial in a 13.00 and you run 12.99 you went too fast and you lose. If you sign up for the 13.00 class and you start running 12.90's in practice, you should change your class.

Well with sub 10's likely once without a NHRA licence, maybe twice.

I'll buy the first round.

Bait, 17 racing slots left and shrinking fast. You have to be paid to race. Don't say I didn't tell you. Drop the cash off at APF and I will mark you down.

How is this going to work exactly? Are the lights going to be sequenced according to the difference in each pair of car's 'dial in' times?

No additional cost to enter the bracket racing if you are paid to race that day.

Is it going to be dial in and run in each class, or will it be if you are in the 11.5 class you basically need to run 11.5X all day? Like will it be handicapped tree towards slower dial in or what? Because I was running 12.35 all day last time literally haha, 6 passes 12.35 and the first pass of the day it slipped a little and went 12.37. My cars consistent

Nope still waiting on my motor, don't think everything will be done in time. If I do get it done in time I'll see if there are any open slots though. But as of right now its a no go for me.
