I had posted this as a sub to someone elses thread and didnt get a good answer, so I will post it here seperate.

I have noticed a few people on the forum have done turbo or supercharger, but never talk about bracket racing. My question is, why spend all that money on HP if your not going to race it for money?

 

Bracket racing usually doesnt pay out great. By the time you figure in the cost of fuel for the day, food and entry fee's... you usually dont come out too far ahead. And thats only if you win.

If your going to bracket race, its best to just get to know your setup and dial in. you dont need big HP to win brackets. just be SUPER consistent.


I mod my rides because 1, I enjoy wrenching and 2, I have fun driving what I built. Just because you have a fun/fast car, doesnt mean you have to take it to a track.

 

I just wanted passing power........with a trailer in the back

 

i race for just $*its and giggles. nothing more.

 

I race to try and beat my previous fastest pass. But, I would also like to beat the fastest Colorado DSM record as well. Although my car hardly see's street time, its nice to take it over to sonic on friday night.

 

as anyone even seen 11's with these trucks? I would think the best time anyone has got is high 13's and that would be pushing it.

 

billy ran a 13.25 i believe but that was before his built trans/cam/and 3.55.

 

I have seen someone run 11s in a dak. The only thing dakota about the truck, though, was the body. Other than that it was all dragster not street legal at all.

 

I did it because I'm a dumbass.

 

lol at least one of us is honest
