The spirit of this thread is alive, along with the different types of vehicles being used for bracket racing.

Yes, we have snowmobiles out here bracket racing in Div. 6 & 7.

Need to give a shout out to the motorcycle bracket racers also.


2BKING says we own a bracket racing drag bike also!

can't be. It is not 4 link RED dragster or door car it can not be a bracket vehicle. LOL

That Moore fellow down there in the South does pretty good on a 2 wheeler.

The latest posts in this thread for the most part. Are representative of non-cookie cutter bracket race vehicles. That's the nice thing about bracket racing: race your daily, race on a budget or un-limited budget, dial-in for the most part what you want, go have fun & the winning is up to the driver.

NOT bracket "vehicles"

Further you won't see a quad nor a motorcycle competing no mind winning at any of the Flings or SFG races.

Again, his ain't a bracket car nor is he by his own admission a bracket racer!!

Yes, you can enter any car in a bracket race... I can beat a nail into a piece of wood with a pipe wrench but that doesn't make it a hammer.

BD104X...KNOWS!

I don't care what the OP asked. There are probably no rules about staying on topic & if there was, they probably wouldn't be enforced.

NHRA KNOWS & it's their playing field!

I guess they got it wrong by calling it "vehicles". Guess the need to change the rulebook to reflect the proper name of bracket car(s).

WO, according to NHRA your title of the thread is incorrect. I'm sure that's going to break your heart; press on with your journey!

Of course you don’t, it doesn’t fit your narrative.

I don't need to care, I provided answers to his question.

2BKING

There is multiple reasons for the title of the thread.

Main point being made car or vehicle can be a bracket car regardless of what one or two on site think is required. The main thing not required is approval of the same one or two.

Judging from most of replies that actually relate to the thread.That is correct assumption.

Your POS FED is not and never will be a competitive bracket car just as you are not and never will be a competitive bracket racer, Truth and Facts!

WO,

Ask Ed how he did today in the Firechicken.

2BKING

looks like with the best pof equipment and a bracket car you are still not a competitive bracket racer ED.

Again since you are having trouble comprehending. Calling me not a bracket racer is not an insult.It means nothing. To put in terms maybe you can understand. It would be the same as calling not decent human being. A simpler term would be just POS. Nothing coming from you is truth and fact it is just useless BS.

You’re not a bracket racer, your POS FED is not a bracket car and you’re a redneck idiot!

you’ve shown all here that if it bolts up and/or wire needs to be terminated, you’ll fuc it up everytime! Everything you touch/install on your shyt box breaks and/or fails.

Oh and I lost 1st round today twice

The Firechicken can be competitive with the right driver & that has been proven when Ed is not driving!

The driver is still the most important part of a bracket car, vehicles, dragsters, motorcycles, snowmobiles & whatever that might be in a bracket race.

2BKING

so again with the best of equipment you are not much of bracket racer. Since you are bracket racer I am thinkful I am not.

Why is it so hard to get it. I do not care about the being a bracket racer,not like it is top fuel or anything close. Nothing against bracket racing just not that important to me.

Ed ebcoming repeat mike

Pretty easy to not mess up anything when the only thing you build is hemorrhoids and being a natural-born PIA that should be easy.

The link provides the facts on how a driver can mess up a competitive bracket vehicle/car with a .05x reaction in 1st round & .03x reaction in the buyback round. The quicker of the 2 reactions is nowhere close to what's needed to be competitive, S/Pro racing.

4:08:30, 1st round

4:51:30, buyback round

I can't believe this brainless subject is still being debated.

no debate. Just one idiot thinking he decides who can be here and what qualifies as a bracket car and that anyone cares about his opinion. Now fact that I knew that is about exactly what would happen and that edna could not resist flipping his lip or punching the keyboard as the case may be. Has nothing to do with it being 4 pages. Kind of like Larry Woodfin asking for everyone to play nice being 10 pages at last check.

So why are you here? No one cares about your POS FED cobbled together with used up hemi parts from an also ran former alcohol fc and junk you stick welded together and the few new parts you have installed and/or wired up have broken and failed, proving you have no practical mechanical skills or knowledge of the most basic systems in a bracket car. Further, they also don’t care about your endless threads asking bs questions mostly about things that have nothing to do with bracket cars nor bracket racing!
