i also was not lightin' up the tires in the beginning as much easier.
no worries about that bracket. its all fun. brock and i enjoy our rivalry. we race weekly lol.
I keep telling people on here it's all about the launch. Once you get used to your car, it's on. You can be consistent and deadly. It sure takes a long time to get that feeling though. If I don't race in a few weeks, I loose it for a second. I was going to do our own bracket putting the fastest against the fastest and so on, but the tower did our bracket on reaction times. Next time I'll do the bracket and make it easier for the first timers. Although in the semi's 3 of the 4 were first timers.
