How to Bracket Race an EFI 5.0 Mustang And WIN!

This Page will document my very unserious attempt at becoming the number 1 points champion in the Trophy Class for the 1998 racing season at Heartland Park in Topeka KS. I say unserious because I'm not one of those types of guys that makes every little change you could imagine on their car to make sure it is absolutely perfect. I plan on showing that the average person can take their car to the track and win in bracket racing. I plan on having a detailed analysis of each and every run ( yeah right!) youll be lucky if I print my ETs HA! No Im just kidding. I do plan on printing each run and trying to figure out what I did right or wrong on each one.

So you ask "why the trophy class?". Well I'll tell you why. Because it's only $20 to enter. You ask "but you'll only win a trophy?". Well I have one of those trophies, that I won last year, and must say it is very nice. Ok you wonder "trophy class? Thats must be easy right?" I say, last years trophy class points leader went to a divisional final and did better then any other person from the track in any class. How is that for competition? And anyways if I wanted to run for money I would have to take it too seriously. And I have found that when you start taking racing too seriously all the fun disappears. And the main reason I like to race is because ITS FUN!!!!.

The racing season starts real soon and I will begin expanding this page. I will include pics from the track and any and all highlights from each event. So keep checking back for the latest updates.
