That's why I suggested 10.50, that and it avoids some other rules that trigger at that ET, and its faster than the DD 10.80 standard.
But this is a DF deal and breath holding is contra-indicated.Drag Week 2006 & 2012 - Winner Street Race Big Block Naturally Aspirated - R/U 2007 Broke DW '05 and Drag Weekend '15 Coincidence?

Is it Not the Idea to have the Fastest Street Cars on Drag Week and GO FAST
even in DD
COME ON..................... HOT ROD
DO THE RIGHT THING
Wont have any more cars just more fun
I was there Thrusday Night when Jeff Lutz said to Mike Finnegan "Set It Up Larry and I tomarrow one Race Pro Tree and get this over with".
Hot Rod couldnt do it?
So much for Drag Racing on Drag Week.
Time Trialing isn't for everyone

Question: if u Drag Race during the year car field
other than Bracket racing and test / tune
What Class does your Drag Week Car run in, how competative is your car?
DD: i still dont get it, why bring a car that can't get into bracket ladder

I've bracket raced a lot and if I was running in the Daily Driver class, I'd like to bracket race every day of Drag Week.
What if every Daily Driver "on-track" session was a bracket race? Dial your own on the first day (changes allowed). Every other day is the required .10 under your official average (no changes). Only round winners return to the "bracket" lanes. Each winner recieves a "round won" (or "kill") sticker on their window (that stays on the vehicle for the week). If you can't win a round, you're done running until the "open" session.
Even "finals" day starts the same way.
Who runs the evening bracket finals? All cars with at least one round win. If you can't win a round all week, you're a spectator.
If mother nature rains out the finals, the bracket champion is the entry with the most "kills" for the entire week.D R A G - W E E K - '05 - '06 - '07 - '08 - '09 - '10 - '11 - '12 - '13 - '14 - '15 - '16 - '17

that's actually an interesting thought - I think that adds some equity and gets all the cars run at least once, also gives something more acceptable than the disappointment (as a fan in the stands) from day 6 rainout last year.
I'm not a bracket racer, but I might could get interested in that. I know there is some strategy around sandbagging (hell in every class apparently...cough - 9.99 on 7 cylinders... cough) but I'm not clear on how it helps here.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I like the bracket race idea each day, but you still need to have some type of top 32 or even 48 cars to keep the ET a little quicker than 16.00 for the winner...
I like the top 32 idea to keep the car quick, but have a daily bracket race for the round wins to seed into the finals. That along with the top 32 to 48 cars would be fun.
I want to run the DD field, but there needs to be something to spice it up, it seems like they are the fill in class just to fill the field. I would rather drop into the street NA SB class.-Bobby-

Bracket race EVERY DAY .......... Don't give them that idea. The hard part is the drive to the next track. Might sound easy, but it is so much more than just the miles. I quess if you're the first out and stay ahead of all the carnage the drive is ok, but anywhere else and your windshield time increases as you (or at least I did) stop to check on those not moving. The goal is just to get a good run or two in and hit the road. I paid for a lot of "un-used" hotel time this year.Drag Week 2012 (wet paint and no transmission but finished) Drag Week 2013 Daily Driver finished in middle of pack (again) Drag Week 2014 #56 of 126 Daily Drivers. (getting closer to the 32)
