Probably one of the best videos on RUclips.
I’m not sure about all that 😂 but thank you that means so much!
@TheRockRacing as for bracket racing videos, it's absolutely the best. I been doing this a long time, got so frustrated after a bad year last year. I started driving one of these ways and got most of what I'm doing this year through the video. Especially sticking to the plan. So far 1 win, 2 runner up and #1 in super pro points. Not to mention I have shared it with all my people I race with. No matter how good you are, or how long you been racing, it's always good to review what you're doing and find any way to improve yourself!
@@nhragold1922Wow that makes me feel pretty special man thank you! Congrats on the success! But don’t be sharing it with your competition 😂😂😂 Make sure to let me know when you lock up the points championship
Thank you once again, i never comment on any channel but i cant resist on yours.. You may remember me thanking you awhile back. You a solely changed my racing program resulting in the best year of my career this far.. Double edge sword here. I will take all your knowledge but wish it wasn’t available to all lol.. Take Care and thank you again 🙏
Yes I remember. Thank you again so much! Hope you’re still on that hot streak. Maybe one day I should make something like This is Bracket Racing 🤔
Great information as usual. Thank you for sharing your tips with us. This Video is 2 months old, is the new car done yet???? Cannot wait to see and hear it!
Thank you! Can't believe this video is already that old. And yes, just got the new car done and raced it for the first time at the og million. Going to reveal it soon
Pure gold! Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Ya this is the best video I’ve seen for finish line driving. I am going to have to try this more. The hard part is convincing my team lol thanks for posting!
Thanks man that means a lot! Good luck out there
Honestly, I just dial based on what my gut tells me. I'm usually right, but when i'm wrong, i'm worse than wrong.
😂😂😂
Most informative video you put up yet!!!!
Keep it going sir!!
You think? Thank you! And yes I will try 👍
Great video as always. Seasons over for me now, but been practicing implementing this more this year. Usually being a hun or two under. But the last race I got a bit closer. Took .012 stripe but was .004 under. I was .05 behind and tried to wheel him through and take as little as I could as he was whomping by 1000ft.
I think next year I can make it work though. Racing here in the U.K. all Pro And Super Pro run bottom bulb as Delay Boxes are outlawed here. So the reaction averages here usually can have a wider margin.
But my brother in his Junior has been implementing what you’ve showed us since the first video you did. And he’s come Runner-Up in championship two years in a row now. And all the kids consider him the best top end driver in the class. And he credits all his success on your videos as a brilliant visual aid for him. So thank you Rocky.
Thank you so much man that means a lot! 😌 I’ve been loving your videos you guys are both driving well. Your car seems tough to hold because it looks like it keeps its momentum, whereas my car a whomp will move the car back and kill a significant amount. I can’t imagine no delay box as well 😅 but you’re making it look like no big deal leaving that starting line. But if ever in doubt just hit the tree and make it close! Good luck to both of you I think Luke’s going to be the champ soon! Thanks again. Be sure to watch out for a new video Friday 👍
Thanks for the info. My son is building a bracket / SC dragster and we hope to be testing it come November.
Anytime! Let me know where I can check that out when you get it together
I just started to try holding not to long ago and I took away a lot from this video and I am definitely more confident in myself in the future. Awesome video!
Nice! Let me know how it goes. And thank you!
Great tips Rocky. 👌🏻 Thanks for sharing
Thanks! 👍
Truly one of the things that makes me love bracket racing so much. Absolutely anybody can floor it and drive it out the back (heads up racing). The real skill in drag racing is driving the stripe.
I agree. I enjoy watching all kinds of racing, but with heads up racing you often know the winner at 100 ft. With bracket racing, you never know until the end. And you get to see good finish line drivers turn a bad situation into a winlight
@@TheRockRacing just checking in on you. You haven't gave up on this RUclips thing have you? Hope all is well bud.
Good video Rocky. Been struggling lately on the top end. This should help and explains a lot
Thanks Brad! Good luck!
Great video Rocky! I definitely got a ton out of it! Nice edits on the vid too!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! This was the first video where I used better editing software so I was able to do some new things with it. Hope to keep getting better
Dude thank you for this. You are the only person that I have found so far that is explaining this style of driving. I'm just getting into bracket racing for the past few years. 1st year no traction on my 2018 Chrysler 300 700hp. 2 year COVID heart attack and recovery and blown tranny. 3 year youngest son dies😢. This year my wife said get your butt back at the track. Go get the tranny rebuilt 😮. Well on the HP70 there is no trans brake and foot breaking even with a 2step it is very difficult to win. I'm running late this year but will have a trans brake and delay box😊. Im bumping up the HP buy 100 to 150 just to put me a little fast then most in the sportsmen class. Now I can start to learn how to race and not just drive and at 55 let's hope this old man can learn new tricks with an open mind. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around everything but will watch your videos in the hope of learning. Are there any books that can help me or explain more about the math around this?
Like my car for several races was right around 11.3 to 11.4. would I dial would I dial 11.5? My RT was all over the place but should be a 100 times better with the new equipment and a lot of practice on the tree.
Yes gotta get back out there man! Sounds like your new combination will be good. Sportsman will be a great place to learn and try new things if you want to experiment. Anywhere from 20-50 on the tree will be solid. For finish line I would see how much ET your car ranges and base your dial on that. If it moves .05 then maybe dial .05 up to cover it for example, as long as you figure out a way to kill it accurately. I’m not sure of any books. This is Bracket Racing Elite has lots of written lessons but it’s a paid subscription. Be sure to let me know how it all goes man!
Luke gonna get mad you givin away secrets for free. 😂😂😂
Great video
😂 nahhh he’s making millions he won’t get mad 😂 thank you!
Much needed topic no one else dives into. Great idea buddy
Most people probably don’t want to show what they do. But there’s so many little things that go into it, it’s impossible to show everything. Thanks for watching!
Straight up great video!
Appreciate it!!!
Right on!! I appreciate your knowledge!! Being the slower door car trying to judge the stripe is damn difficult when they are 50 mph faster.
Also My car is affected a lot by the weather. Maybe my tune is off a bit.
Yea that’s naturally going to be a little more difficult to judge. You’re also on the track for a longer amount of time which is more time for any inconsistencies. But at the same time being a lot slower you have the opportunity to give your opponents some weird looks
@@TheRockRacing absolutely!! I foot brake in a 12.7’s to low 12.8’s and normally run honest. Definitely hard to gauge my reaction time and if I’m on a fast run. When I think I’m dead late it’s a .00- something but when I think I’m on it I get .038 or something slower
Excellent
Thank you!
Putting these in the Pocket fo sho... made 100s of laps dialed honest and welll didnt get the wins nearly as much... like you said, tree em,hold some, pull up on em and ride em through with the wheel 😂😂 for the win🏆🏆🏆🌞🌞👍👍awesome sir...
😂 Sounds like a plan! It’s not as easy as holding it to the floor, but I’d rather make a mistake trying to drive it then holding it to the floor and watching their win light come on
Great info Rocky!
Thank you! Hope your racing has been going well this year!
I've always dialed honest albeit it was footbrake. I can count on one hand how many times I lost by 00.
But I do see the advantage of holding a few and try to make the car run the number vs trying to judge the finish line and dial honest.
I think either style can be good, just depends on the situation. If you’re hitting the tree well then dialing honest might be the play, but you’re more susceptible if you miss it
Thank you for the tip
Thanks for watching!
Long time no see Rock welcome back.
Here to stay! Great to see you back!
Numidia is a very hard track to read let alone reading the other racers but this will hopefully help me out this season being ill hopefully be there more I'll have some tricks up my sleeve
Hope it’s been going well!
Great vid Mr.Rocky!
Thank you! Good job on your racing lately keep it up!
Great video. Thank you
Thank you!
Thanks, just found and subscribed. 👍
Thanks for subscribing!
Great video
Glad ur back
Thank you! Been too long since the last one. Hoping to keep them coming
I've watched it 3 times🤣
@@bigdigr64 no way 😂😂😂
Good stuff!
Thanks KP!
Noti gang on top
😂 that was a fast comment!
@@TheRockRacing noti gang 😂😂
Could you please explain more on braking at the mph Cone gas pedal with brake pedal
What do you mean exactly?
@TheRockRacing
Are you applying brakes at full engine rpm or a variation of rpm I never could understand that part from any video?
Oh and good job with your videos!
@@Cajun-ox8kr I always come completely off of the gas as I hit the brakes
@@Cajun-ox8kr Thank you!
as a beginner I have a lot to learn from my God father because when you got to the part about when you dialing honest your already positive I started to get confused
Don't let that part confuse you. It's just a way I like to look at it. In other words, if you dial honest, you are potentially giving some room at the finish line to your opponent for free
Rocky are you back racing
Not yet. Car will be ready in a week or two!
As a slow door car, I am almost always dialing honest, but every now and then the car will run off which gets me in the end. Me being the slowest car I always have to just the wheels. 8.50's to 6.60 cars are hard to judge when you are talking about 20+ more mph than you at the top end.
Yea that would be tough for sure. Maybe stick with wheels and just focus most on laying down a better lap
Best method is heads up racing not sandbagging or holding back.
I don’t like whomping my engine because I don’t think it’s good for the life of the engine, I could be wrong but I’m not blessed with money and build my own engines.
I’m not sure if that has any effect on the engine. I just think of it like… if something’s going to happen then it’ll happen
