Yes, it is always 1/8 mile...if you think it is easy money, I hope you are joking...teh absolute finest footbrakers in the country show up for this one...quite a few are professional footbrakers...

You might win one round with a .015 package but that is it...mostly packages are in the .001 to .009 range...these boys are as tough as it gets....015 light is an automatic loser...

I'd love to do this event but my junk is not near ready for this crowd yet...someday...sigh...

I heard this was a great event last year. Great track and a great group of racers. Yea easy money was a joke. Cutting a teen light and running dead on sents you out. I know I would be a little guppy swimming with sharks. Yes these are the best bracket racers in the country.

You drove all the way to Memphis, and won an engine block. You can't drive to Bristol with that new trailer for a chance at 30,000 bucks?
