So I was just wondering if all of you bracket racers have any tips for me on Saturday to make this run swimmingly, and so you guys get maximum bang for your buck. Pat just kinda lets me do my own thing cause I haven't screwed anything up yet (knock on wood) and have done a pretty good job on my own; so with that being said anything you guys could teach me or tell me would be greatly appreciated since I'm sure some of you have been racing before I was born lol. Well thanks ahead of time and see you on Saturday.

Don't let an entire class run before calling the next. You'll figure out the timing. You don't want down time on the track but you don't want racers waiting forever in lanes.

In my opinion they need to call S/P to lanes 1 & 2 , Pro 3&4, Sportsman 5&6. During T&T you had slick cars in 5&6. Kinda hard for dragsters when its crowded to move across. Just my thoughts I dont have a dragster but I was worried pulling out with one to my left I could have easily caught his front end as we pulled up at the same time.

Alright I will be sure to keep the classes coming as all times. Also thanks for the heads up on the slick cars I will be sure to change things around tonight for T&T. I will also for sure keep in mind your lane recommendations for Saturday too. For tonight though I will put slick cars in lanes one and two so those guys don't have to cross over lanes since they do have a hard time turning. Thanks for the feedback guys any other help or recommendations will be used if I can.

i would consider doing open time runs period to a certian time. then close lanes and do 1 final class call maybe even make it a dialing for dollars 10.00 entry 80 % to closest to dial and 20 percent to the track.
if your there early enough or you need 37 timeruns you could get it. if you run open time runs there is always cars moving and thats the key to getting a program done is moving cars fast. It is a race track right.
