Faster cars are more competitive and harder to run on the number. Hence the payout is better in the faster classes. I've been racing at Island from the time I got my license, pretty steady until I got married. In the end it's the driver. When you come out of the staging lanes look over and see who your paired up with. Fast car, slow car, If the back window is peppered with class win stickers you're probably gonna lose..............
Slower cars are not an advantage and faster cars or not harder to run a number with.
If you are an experienced driver and know your car it is extremely easy to dial it in.
Those stickers dont really mean anything either. I put one on my truck because I won an Elimintor at Englishtown. It is a gold decal, not that makes it any better, but it is an event winner decal. If you win one round in a bracket competition and bring your ticket to the window they will give you a class winner sticker. So if I go every week for a year and win one round I wont be able to see out of my back window. Does that make someone good? No, not at all. I am not trying to be mean or an a$$ but those opinions are far from truth. I dont know everything there is to know about bracket racing but most of your comments are way off base.
