I disagree with that, I think bracket racing is bracket racing, you race the clock not the other car. If you run your time it doesn't matter what tires you have. However I don't think that a 17 Second car should have JR barreling up behind him at 140+MPH while he is going 75,I think having that big a split is flat out dangerous for both drivers. if you are going to split brackets I say make an 11.99 and below and 12.00 and above bracket. Â*That way you can keep the track safer and still have a longer set of eliminations.
There a huge difference in racing on street tires, drag radials, and et streets. Its a huge advantage for me running QTP's going against a LS1 on street tires. Classes broken down by tire types are very fair. I agree that its very dangerous (especially for rookie racers) to go against much fast cars. But then the faster cars are in the slick tire or heads up class (no flames from all the very fast power adder LS1 that prowl the streets). I ran my 15 second ragtop in the last half of heavy last season against 9 and 10 second cars. They do fly past on the top end. You might want to make the street tire and drag radial classes limited to 12.0 and slower. 11.99 and faster must go into the slick tire class. I think that a pre race meeting should be manditory for new racers.

I would love to have an any tire 12.0 and slower class.
