I always liked bracket racing. good strategy works really well. Make them chase you down the strip and they break out.Built a few in my day's , all in 69' SS Chevelle's , My first L-88 street car , then 2 Bracket cars , fastest I went in my last a 501ci was 10.90 et , Not Good ! I dialed an 11.15 @ The Bracket Finals in Maple Grove Pa , Broke out & went on the trailer ! Always new the car would run in the 10's but not that day !This one had Lexan windows , Glass nose , doors , bumpers & trunk lid . But still one heavy Chevy !
we used to go to wichtafalls,tx on sundays and race, there was a old man drove a buick, skylark that was dialed in on the money, come to find out he had a bolt under the foot feet so he ran the same times back to back
Another thing you could do is put a little slack in the throttle to the point where the carb was not wide open. I raced at Little River near Round Rock and San Antonio Drag Race Way. And on occasion abandoned airstrips. I never raced in a competition I just went for test and tune.
had a couple of race cars, 65 duce, straight axle 302 w/ 4 sp the last was rear engine dragster 454 on alcohol 2 sp powerglide
I was the guy everybody would bring their difficult items to tune up or rebuild.
I had one guy bring me his car every Thursday before his races on Friday and had me tune up.(Hillborn Fuel Injection) I was so glad when he sold that car! I owed him a favor and paid for many times over. The guy who bought it tried to get me to tune it for him. I flat refused even though the money would have been good, I felt like I got beat with a baseball bat by the time I got finished tuning. The dude in the video makes it sound easy, but it is not. Anything you do to one affects the seven others.

It is the perfect motor sport for Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder. If you get it all perfect you go to the next round with points in your pocket.
If it wasn't for side bets , not much $ in it ! One pocket might have points in it , ( which don't pay the bills ) but the other pocket is lean on Coin ! Believe me I know !
