Is a transbrake and two step considered a Gizmo? In other words if I have a t-brake and 2-step can I run Bracket II?

Also, do MSRA racers pay the normal entry fees etc. at the track or are they different?

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,

Transbrakes and two steps are OK in Bracket II. The two main things that would be considered a Gizmo are a delay box and a Throttle stop.

MDRA racers pay all the same entry fees at the track.

OK, sounds good. I'll probably foot brake anyway...the t-brake seems to equal red lights with my car anyway. And it looks a little funny with 28" skinnies on the front to try to increase the roll out.
I normally just use the brake on a pro tree.

I just wanted to make sure that it didn't have to be removed from the car to run in that class.

Thanks for the replies!

that is a fantastic idea,(does MDRA get a discount?) has anyone discussed this with track owners? Hey even 5 bucks is 5 bucks.

Though credit does have to be given Cedar Falls, on Sunday morning they run a mini MDRA only race.
