I have to agree. There was an article in High Performance magazine awhile back, that had some girl win a HUGE Pontiac Bracket Drag Racing event with a Rent-A-Wreck 90's Pontiac Grand Am with a 4 cylinder motor. My son almost won the High Performance Pontiac Day at Raceway Park with my 1995 Grand Am GT 6 cylinder. He was getting a good reaction time and had the time dialed in around 16.5. He did not have to worry about spinning the tires, just punch it out of the hole and brake at the end if he had to. He only lost in the final because of nerves and a red light. The point is, if you want to take advantage of the situation and the prize money, you can win quite easily. Several years ago there was a top name bracket racer (at Englishtown) that brought his Pontiac Full Size station wagon to race at almost every MONEY bracket event. He said the only reason he did this was to win the cash and put in into his real race car. The car left the line without a bit of wheel spin, he caught a great light (very low .500) and ran within 1/10 of his time.
