Thanks for all the feed back and chatter on this subject, I'll try and answer all your relevant posts and a few others, did know that a few would be against bracket racing but we don't have to do it that way, I just saw it as being fair to all (but possibly a right headache for me) but just straight head to head is fine, just want to get more Volvo head to head action going

I had this made for a trophy.

that's the sort of thing I was thinking of, but a bent FORGED Frankie rod would be even better....lol

Great minds, who wants to start at different times? Lol

honestly thought you would like hunting us down a nipping the win and it would teach you patience young man

You start while the light's still red anyway.

probably the same in bed, jump start and come first.....lol

bracket racing gives a fair chance to everyone so money/mods are irrelevant

thats what I thought, would be an interesting experience watching your competitor leave and then focusing on the lights, then the chase to the line or the other way around, leaving first and going like stink in the hope you don't get pipped to the post and the specy's would get some close racing instead of runaway wins

sounds like its all getting a bit complicated to me. its just a bit fun a few times a year. turn up and try and get your do to do its fastest time. i know 100% i wont turn up to 6 races next year. most of them are the other end of the country to me.

did you read the first paragraph, there would still be normal running as well, this is just an extra bit of fun for those who want to and changes nothing else, so if you want to turn up and run as normal that is up to you

I'm going to try and do atleast 10 this year

if we're starting a book on this I'm going to bet that you make it to 5

Happy to participate....but some else will need to work out the scores as you lost me half way through...

not a problem, scoring will be as simple as I am, so pretty simple....lol

Love the trophy - just wondering if we are going to set some regulations about entries or is that too serious?

[JUDGENINJA]

Is there going to be a penalty points punishment if you challenge above your station and lose??
I'll probably be in negative figures.

I reckon qtr time plus reaction time stands. Give those with balls to go early a chance against those who have a quicker car.
Also it doesn't require two cars to line up side by side necessarily.
You could set the challenge before joining the queue.
The challenger has to run first.
Then the challenged person runs second in an attempt to hold onto the crown.

The above could even work with racers running at different strips, but slightly harder to administrate because you'd always just choose the best run of the day.

..... Or only challenge one car per day versus your fastest time like a game of top trumps??

yep, your right that would be far to serious, but may be just the one, you have to have a complete working car..that will rule out at least 4 people I know at present.....lol

penalty points would have only come into play if we were bracket racing and someone breaks out of their dial in time, so unlikely to happen
