At 8, you'd put anywhere from a 13.5-13.7 (just throwing out some numbers) and the closer you get to that, the better chance you have to win. If you break, or go faster, than number you entered, you will be disqualified. The tree is based off of your entered time. So, a 10 second car will start about 3 seconds later than you. You get it? So, the better and most consistant driver wins. Plus, it looks like there will be a healthy payout.

What I never understood/liked about bracket racing, is that it penalizes the fast cars. A car with a monster motor, and tons of rubber will have more variations in 1/4 mile times due to the difficulty of getting consistant traction... meanwhile I can take a 1988 Subaru Loyal automatic out there, and run consistant 24.2's all day by "launching" in 2nd and leaving it there all the way down the track at 5000 rpm.
