i like bracket racing. it comes down to the driver instead of the car or how much money you got.

BRACKET IS ALL ABOUT THE DRIVER.
HEAD-UP IS ABOUT DRIVER AND CAR.
IF I HAD MONEY I WILL RUN HEADS UP.

bracket racing in my area its the only kind of racing i can compete in. although no other imports bracket race here so im always racing the domestic race cars.

heads up racing is for big budget race teams bracket racing is affordable

ps bracket racing requires a good car to be really good as well as a good driver

head-up are for the fast cats hittin 12s and lower.. correct me if im wrong.. i see 11s going head-up wit 10s... thats a second different... a second in a race is like a 3 or 4 more cars ahead... i wouldnt want to head up wit a car that is a faster... durin bracket... its pretty much even.. if the other car is fast.. they let the slower car go first and the faster ones plays catch up... evens everythin out.. or is there a strategy to racing bracket or head-up?????

Heads up all the way. we dont bracket race on the streets , but then again, people shouldn't street race anyways

and Heads up still takes a lot of driving skills. If not, all of the top qualifiers at every race would always win. That is not always the case. just like bracket racing, you need to be consistent in your own time or the slower car will get ya.

brackets are all you can race with that 3 cylinder d16 you got.hurry up and get that other motor going so you can get back out there.
find me a tranny while you are at it.

Heads up . Bracket is very good at honing your skills at the tree though.

bracket racing is fun in my opinion. I mean heads up is cool and all, but in these days HEads up classes are all about the money.

You can go out with a stock car or mildly built car and have fun with it on a bracket race. These days, the only heads ups classes are going so fast, you have to be 10-20K+ into the car to be competitive.

again i agree.
the thing is, i used to bracket the t type. and it was fun. heads up is better. i mean i like it more. bracket racing is about me as a driver.

heads up, brings out more of my talents. as well as being a good driver. although i am not that good yet.
