Ive been around bracket racing for all my life since my dad has done it in his tube chassis 69 mustang for about 25 years now and i finished building my tube chassis 86 about 2 years ago. Bracket racing is who ever gets to the finish first without running out. Running out means running faster then your dial in. If both cars run out who ever runs out less wins. Reaction time plays a huge part in bracket racing or any kind of drag racing because it gives u the hole shot. The idea is to get to the finish first but by as little margin of victory as possible to ensure that you dont run out. So you get on the brakes and try to get to the finish line by no more than a tire in front of your opponent. If your not going to be able to get to the finish line first then as soon as your opponent is about to cross the stripe you hit your brakes (which is called dumping) to ensure that you dont run out and hoping that he does. Oh i read one of the other posts talking about reaction time affecting e.t. Well it doesnt. Your e.t is in no way affected by your reaction time.
