Let us say you were to build a drag car that is still street legal.

Obviously there are bracket and heads up classes.

You could build a bracket car that you don’t have to be the fastest just the most consistent.

Or you could build a heads up class car that would most likely be a middle of the pack car for its class.

What would you build?

Heads up car. My car isn’t a Drag car, but my main competitor is myself. I like trying to improve from year to year, setting personal goals.

Consistency is harder than it sounds. For a bracket car, I would get a 2.3l EFI Fox Mustang, run 19.0 every time. You could set your watch to it.

Heads up has more of a "purist" feel though.

Hard or not, it's incredibly boring. If they used another word other than "racing" maybe, but there is no racing in bracket racing.

IDK, I had a blast running down 12 second cars in a 9.20 car.
And I've been the 13 second car being run down by the 11 second car.

This.

While the '13 is down for the new block, I've been taking the '16 out to Sealy. 13 flat, but still beats many of the cars out there. Then there is the random CTS-V that I end up staged against and.....oh well. Win some, lose some.
