Hmmm, they may have meant bracket racing or they may have been using the
word bracket as a synonym for "class" or "division"... If you know the
track its being held at, you can probably look up the number, call someone
there, and find out.

:-) Yep, you'll probably be required to run in the truck class.

Hmmm... Sounds like you need more power! (arrh arrh arrh!) ;-)
Actually, in drag racing, you might have a traction problem off the line
due to the people who don't know any better that drive through the water
pit with their street tires. They'll drag the water up onto the track...
I find its much easier to spin the tires on the track than it is on the
street.
Have fun!! Watch out for that drag racing bug though... When that lil'
bugger takes hold, its not a pretty sight!! ;-)
