Bracket racing isn't drag racing. It's also not easy. Not only do
you want to build lots of power so you'll be chasing with the quicker
car, you MUST cut a decent light. Just ask the drivers in TF, FC,
TAD, TAFC and Comp who're not making competitive power how im****tant
that is.

Since there're no safety rules, street racers more often than not
engage in a form of Russian Roulette... with their own safety, and/or
the safety of *others* at stake. I used to be one, until I found the
local track. Thankfully, no one was ever hurt with my involvement.
It's more fun to race on a track that I *know* is prepped and where I
*know* there won't be anything or anyone to run into.
