This may be a dumb question, but how do you win in bracket racing? I know you put an ET down, but what how do you know what to put, how to race, and what time to run to win. I've won a few times, but each time seems different. Thanks for the easy help.

the trick to bracket racing is consistency. basically, you want to get as close to your dial-in time without going over. check out the game's FAQ, it explains it in detail

Do like 5 races and see what ETs you get.

Then put the lowest ET as your Dial-in.

To get a consistant time work on launching the same way each time (Same RPM, stage in the same spot, etc.) Then work on shifting at the same RPM each time.

I'm not great but I'm consitant within .2 I sometimes will run like a time like .5 below I normally do. Don't know why.

With FWD vehicles you can get a better dial in if you stage deep.

Thank's,,,,I looked for the FAQ but didin't find any, now that I've looked more I've found them, haha

I've ran a best of 16.0 something, consistantly around 16.3 and just set the ET to 16.00, might change that to 16.05 or 16.1. Almost got enough money for some drag slicks, already have the AEM intake. Anyone want to race me sometime I'm MOOF II

The gas is just click and drag.

To stage I like to get up close and then stop when I hit the first light. I can then just put it in first with no gas and it'll slowly roll forward. Just drop it back to neutral to stop.

Over on the left of the screen is a overhead view of the drag strip. When you are staging it shows the two yellow lights, the green area, and a line as your car so you can see where you are staging

BTW, the update they did requires you to do another download !!!!
