So the goal of this "bracket racing" is to guess what you're going to run?? Reminds me of that radar speed pitch game that used to be popular at amusement parks. Throw 2 pitches and then guess what you'll throw on the third.

Kinda strange to me. I always went to the track to improve my times with each run, not to consistently run the same time over and over.
There's a lot of skill in hitting a time consistently. You have to take into account shifting the same (if manual), air temperature, humidity, air density, engine being heat soaked, track conditions (bad or no prep), etc, etc. Oh yes....REACTION TIME IS KING BRACKET RACING.

I was bracket racing my Toyota Rav4 this past Sunday at an Import Face-off event at Cecil County Dragway. I lost not because I wasn't consistent but because my reaction time was a tad bit too lazy (a .1? vs the .0?'s I was hitting in practice runs).

It's because I bracket race that makes me become better at dragracing....beating cars with 2x my horsepower or more.

Great 60’. Your trap speed is concerning as it’s lower than stock CTR’s. Did you let off early? I always finish off in 4th and go a bit past the time lights.
Reaction time has no bearing on ET. Your 60’ was good enough for a low 13 time though ?

Stock power, only mods are Perrin rear motor mount insert and rays gram lights on ps4s tires. I’m very happy with a 13.6!
