E.T. Points (Elapsed Time)
E.T. Bracket Racing is the most common type of sportsman drag racing. Bracket Racing offers a level playing field by allowing each competitor to pick their own time. Using a handicap start it allows the slower competitor to receive a head start. The faster competitor will then get the opportunity to "chase" the slower car down. In a perfect world both racers would get to the finish line at exactly the same time, bracket races are often determined by less than .001 of a second. It is some of the most competitive and exciting racing around. Racers compete for a year end points fund as well as an opportunity to represent Virginia Motorsports Park at the Division 1 E.T. Finals.
