Bracket Racing Integra

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...3424453&q=NHRA

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...4385778&q=NHRA



So, he's running a Turbo at 8-9psi, and apparently a 40 shot of Nitrous.

I understand bracket racing, and that it's not about who's got the faster car. But still, why only 16s???

I should be running in the 13's at least I'd hope. After spending roughly $4000 on motor work for a Turbo kit and Nitrous, I'd be upset with 16 second time slips.

What yall think?

Re: Bracket Racing Integra

i'm thinken its gotta be a tiny little turbo, stock ecu and injecters, and a worn out clutch. that gives you sub 17 sec passes

Re: Bracket Racing Integra

Yup shitty driver - in the second video the car bogs so much between 1st and 2nd gear it looked like he hit the brakes.

Re: Bracket Racing Integra

I was under the impression that integras (non gsr/type-r) were 16 second cars to begin with.

Re: Bracket Racing Integra

Las Vegas is at 2200 ft. elevation, which robs cars of a LOT of power. Also he could have an automatic and he isn't brake torqueing (which a lot of people with automatics do when they're bracket racing).

Re: Bracket Racing Integra

Does he win (take way too long to d/l the video)? If he wins then I say, that's why he runs 16s, lol.

I mean me personally, I'd rather bring home the money then brag about my ET, lol.
