Basic Principles of Bracket Racing

You are given several Time Trials, which are used just as practice, and to see what times your car will run.  In eliminations, it's you against one other racer. You select a time you think your car will run.  That's called your "Dial In".  When two cars compete, they subtract the dial ins, and the slower car gets that much of a head start. The theory is that if both drivers get identical reaction times, and both run what they predicted, they will meet right at the finish line...A tie.  In practicality, this never happens. Reaction times differ, and the car may run quicker or slower than predicted. Whoever has the best REACTION TIME (without  red-lighting) and runs closest to their Dial In (without running under it )  will be the winner of that round and keep racing other racers until you are the final winner and collect your trophy or Money.  We hope to be having another Drag Racing 101 soon.
