Re: Oregon Guys check this out

I'm laughing my *** off as I write this cause I can already see the stopwatch in your laps - while your trying not to jump my Armdrop… hook… watch your competitor… not go too fast…shift… find the groove…look at the watch… and get to the finish line first. I'm tell'n you ...this is going to be the greatest fender racing competition the world has ever seen!
wow, sounds boring as hell to watch. i don't like the idea behind bracket racing, beat the other guy but don't be faster then xx.xx speed. WTF, why don't we just race, and the fastest guy wins.

Re: Oregon Guys check this out

I'd have to argue that Bracket racing is much more difficult than heads up. There's also more strategy involved. Serious bracket racers can stay within the same couple of hundredths of a second every single run. I do, however, enjoy running and watching heads up more, just don't be so quick to throw the other on the bus. I used to have the same viewpoint as you Tony, until I tried it.

Re: Oregon Guys check this out

I don't think Tony is saying bracket racing is easy, he was saying it the pinks idea sounds boring to watch. Heads-Up is exciting as a spectator, sure bracket racing is hard, I am lucky to be consistant within .5, let alone .005.

Although maybe I should mob the cherokee to bracket racing. It won't spin the tires, and has an auto, it should be easy to run fairly consistantly. :-D
