NONE Its a "Bracket" race just like any other race, except its off a .500 Pro Tree (one yellow & GREEN) you still dial in your ET.. & lose if you break out..

If I cant something positive I probably wont say anything, maybe it gives some people a feeling of power to constantly "Knock" someone.. :confused:

If someone has a question on how to hook up, if I reply, I'll try to give "useful" information.. on how to do it..

Not just say SLICKS... I'm sure my daughter knows slicks will help.. but when someone says gears, converter, & drag radials, & NOTHING MORE ??.. I'd hope they would give some "explanation" as to HOW a high stall converter will give yo better traction than a stock converter ??

I "KNOW" for a fact I can hook fine with a stock converter, but if I go to a race converter I get LESS TRACTION unless I go to bigger or drag tires...

Maybe thats why some Red Vetts run 11s & others only run 12s.. :(

The problem at etown is the starter doesn't start the tree until both cars are waiting for quite a while. This has happened in all but one of the quick 4 events during the Corvette Challenge. I hope that they can rectify this problem. :steering:

I agree the tree should be on auto. They take to long to start the lights with a pro tree you should be reacting to the staging lights and the way they do it at the quick 4 its is impossible to get a good light.
I hope they fix this for the next event :cheers:

We are one of the few groups that use a PRO TREE on Saturday, the starting crew doesn't get much of a chance to do it.

We'll work on that.
