Does anyone bracket race there? I see they have a bracket race scheduled for March 16th.

Tom396I have tried out bracket racing there, several years back. Back then, it was an excellent track surface. They don't seem to be open very often, nowadays. Usually, I only see them advertise some sort of Grudge Race and/or Heads Up events. Maybe they are going to give bracket racing another try? Take care. Tom Worthington
If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong.

Phil DeesI only see one scheduled.

Tom396On the plus side, I think that might be one more than they scheduled last year (?). Take care. Tom Worthington

Did you ever make the trip out to OBX? There is usually even less info after the fact from events there than beforehand. Take care. Tom Worthington

Phil DeesYes, they have a fairly nice track. Incandescent bulbs on the tree and odd ET breaks.

There is no mention of ET breaks in any of their online information. What were they like? It has been forever since I visited. I honestly thought I remembered them having LED bulbs. Not surprising, my memory gets worse all the time.

Decent overall experience though? They don't post any results anywhere, and I'm always curious how things turn out there. How were the number of entries? One footbrake eliminator and one delay box eliminator, correct? Take care. Tom Worthington

Phil DeesTop 7.49 cutoff, footbrake 7.99 cutoff. 25.00 at the gate another 100.00 to run. 2000 to win 500 r/u 250 semi 125 qtr based on 16 cars top or footbrake.

Phil DeesIt is kind of high, but the payout is good. I will probably go back sometime. Food was pretty good also.

Tom396Those ET breaks strike me as pretty odd also...especially the 7.99 footbrake one. I suspect these events are actually outside promoters who rent the track and make their own rules. Did they have enough cars (16 in each eliminator) to pay the purse? There wasn't much promotion of the bracket race portion. Take care. Tom Worthington
