Default "This is Bracket Racing" Website

I've been on the fence about joining and curious if anyone here has signed up? The list of instructors is definitely impressive, with a few that race regularly at Atco and RP.

McNasby U Class of '05 and on my second year on Luke's site. Very much worth the cost and provides a ton of great information. Bud and Luke are on the same page and what I have been taught by them makes sense to me. If you think bracket racing is limited by dialing 1 hard, killing the tree and running it out your not going to get a lot out of the class. Not saying that method executed perfectly won't get you a win but its nice to have options and play the percentages. I origianlly took Bud's class because I kept getting wacked by the same group of racers at Atco especially in the later rounds.

For some reason I found that racers are shy in admittion to taking a class or being on Luke's site. Or perhaps they don't want their competition taking the class and getting better.

Negative. I came across the website last year and thought about it...then forgot about it. And this year after going out first round in my first 3 races, I started looking into it again. I'm just looking for one reputable person to recommend it, before shelling out the fee. Kazman fits the bill.

If anyone is interested, I will let you know my thoughts once I join.

Thats what I'm hearing. I actually think I'm a bit too green for the site. I'm tryin to pick the brains of as many racers as I can (especially on this forum) before shelling out the cash for a pay site.

Glad its working for you.

There is a ton of info on that site. You may be green but your asking the right questions. I threw out my entire process and started with Bud's program. NcNasby and Brogacki race the same way its scarey. It took me 2 years to relearn the program. IMO it would be easier to learn how the first time. I still think that the site would be of a value to you. Things you can use now and things that you will find useful 2, 3, and 4 years down the road.

The best of the best. Have raced w/Luke for years and he did our promo work as well. Some have driven for us over the years as well. This is where you learn from the best.
