  • Question

    Ok, when you are at the track, and your watching the races...

    Why is it when the cars are racing down the track, their brakes lights come on for a split second mutliple times? Are they nudging the brake pedal when pushing the cutch or gas or what? I see it basically every single time I go.

    Just curious..

              I don't think I've ever noticed that, but next time I go to the track I'll be watching for sure.

                  Or..... experienced bracket racers.

                  People "sand bag" bracket racing events.

                  Say they have a 12.50 car..... they may dial in at 12.60 and kick @ss all day long. Say this 12.50 car gets a ****ty launch and spins...they know they won't hit their 12.50 run but because they dailed in at 12.60.... they know that they have a 0.1 cushion of safety for bracket racing.

                  Let me know if you want further explanation

                  I have done it in bracket racing events... and won

                    I know what bracket racing is, I have competed in it. :p

                    This is during just normal drag racing.

                      Re: Question

                      i've noticed it and it quick flashes of the brake light... almost like a flicker two or three times. Maybe during the hard shift the pedal moves

                            I'm fully aware the need to get on the brakes in a bracket event depending on your position at the top end of the 1/4.
                            I assumed we werent talking about bracket events.
