i (we) were loaded up ready to go but had some pretty intense insomnia from putting everything back together on the car. pulled an all nighter and _HUGE_ thanks to the guys who pitched in all night with me. there are just tooo many things to hook up on the car and having the front end 100% apart to repaint kinda sucks to put back together. falling asleep with my eyes open 3x on the way to breakfast that was 5 min away made me say eff it. on the bright side, everything’s ready to rock, engine bay looks real clean again, and expect some _callouts_ and big races soon 😉 congrats on the event :tup: ---

> [@neonglh](#): > > Sandbagging? That’s competing! They both have 11.1 cars, so they are not in a class that they could win in, so you slow down. You just have to dial your car back to be competitive in the class that you are in. and I have a 13.1, did I slow my car down to run in the 13.50 class? no that would be gay. I don’t understand ppl that come to a heads up comp to let off the gas and slam their brakes down the track. :rolljerk: I grew up with drag racing as you don’t get off the gas until past the finish line but maybe I’m just old school. ---

So apparently you don’t do bracket racing, because that’s what this event was. It may be “heads up racing”, but you dial in at a certain time, in their case it says right on the slip “dial in time, 11.50”, and then you try your best to hit it. It shouldn’t come to you as a surprise, there is 4 pages here, and the first 3 pages were people asking how it works if you run in between a class, and everyone simply said slow it down :evolve2: ---

Oh I completely understand braket racing, I just figure that people would run their cars all out since there was a braket for every time and let their car fall where it may. ---

> [@38stang](#): > > Oh I completely understand braket racing, I just figure that people would run their cars all out since there was a braket for every time and let their car fall where it may. Even bracket racing you have to slow down… For example you start doing time trials at 4-5pm and its hot out…as the night gets cooler and you get quicker you have to adjust your dial in and still run the chance of having to get on the brakes or off the gas at the top end. Im guessing you never did well on amateur bracket racing nights at Lancaster or NYI. ---
