isn't it an awesome feeling!

i won the 12 second bracket at the GAFBA spring shootout earlier this year. i was glad i won, but the biggest victory for me was taking out one of the local bracket racers who's TA was covered in contingency stickers and was the leader in points in the Pro class at the track. my .035 light to his .106 light was just icing on the cake. i think the guy got lazy cause he saw my car with no stickers whatsoever and stock 15x7 z28 wheels up front.

i love beating cars that are full of stickers and sound like they would be super fast only to lose to my 10 sec ride. yes it feels good

No, but at some events, that $100 win could turn into $1000+ because of stickers. That's the main reason race cars are covered in stickers. Prize money always sucks but contingency money pays the bills.

yes, but it looks MUCH more professional on the back window instead of on the side of the car...and that's where they go when i'm at an event where i need them, but once i'm done, the stickers come back off. most organizations provide stickers for contingency when you register the car.
