Post  bigblok2000ranger on December 2nd 2011, 2:07 pm

Looking for imput from members to help plan the 2012 Powered By Ford Race at Byron Dragway in Byron, IL. I have about one week to get the date figured out.

Thank You to all who came last year and with some help I think we can make the turnout alot better this year.

I will take all imput into consideration.

Okay. There needs to be better organization from Ron and BJ. I understand why they grouped everyone together but they should avoid this next year and stick to the classes. Sorry but bracket racing is silly. Run it as a heads up index deal. Use any structure out there as an example. And let's promote the snot out of it! We need cars! I'll help promote it once you get a date but 10 cars ain't gonna cut it. I'm in for an 8.50 index or faster. I'll have yet another kit to turn on Twisted Evil

I am trying my best to get it on it's own. The classes are gonna change some from last year but even Rich thinks we need the bracket classes. I learned some stuff from last year and will be trying as hard as possible to get some sponsors so we can have garaunteed prizes...

PS looks like I might have a kit or two to turn on also this coming year Very Happy Gonna have to get cage cert'ed and my competition license in the spring.

So, you want to run a pro stock style class, first to the finish line? If you're saying to run an index, it is still bracket racing. You guys crack me up! Laughing

Its not quite the same, .400 pro tree, everyone has the same dial in....................no throttle stops, delay boxes etc. The biggest difference is there will be people in the stands to watch a pro tree index race................. Laughing

one friday night heads up night will have more spectators than all of tv's bracket races combined............They run 2 full heads up classes and 4 index style, there will be a line of cars well into the night to get into that place.


I don't see where you need 52 index classes, and honestly the way the small tire heads up stuff is exploding around here it has me thinking I wish I hadn't cut my car up as much as it is. I might get a stock floorpan to put back in the ass of the thing lol.

Just like any other Super Comp, Super Gas or Super Street race. And I see the stands packed for them too.. Rolling Eyes

OK..maybe not just like them.. but close enough..

we were talking about bracket racing, not national or divisional events..............besides the crowds in the stands watching the t stop guys are just the ones who didn't get up and leave after the pro guys got done lol.

Ok..The way I see is....
Heads-up racing...Leave the same time, first to finish wins.
Anything else is bracket racing, in one form or the other..NO matter where it is..

So you agree that S/C, S/G, S/ST are all heads up then? They are all Pro Tree, leave the line at the same time and have a predetermined index.
