  • DD Bracket Race Tree

    Did I read somewhere that the tree for the DD bracket race will be a .500 Pro? I just downloaded the rules and they say a .500 full tree. What does that mean?

      Ive always heard them refereed to as either a pro tree or sportsman. I have never saw a pro tree used for bracket racing and bet it would be hard for the faster guy to not redlight.

        back when I raced bikes, we used a pro tree.. it was TOUGH on a bike to cut a good light, not alone in a slower reacting car/truck!

          We ran pro tree in the late 70's and 80's when I was et racing. (I think it was usually a 0.4)

                We used one in 2007 at Cordova. I actually liked it . It leveled the playing field some when you were paired with a true bracket racer.

                  Some call the "Sportsman tree a Full tree" but its the same... I normally
                  race the .500 sportsman tree at bracket races.. I have raced the .400 and
                  .500 pro tree.. I can still red light on the .500 pro tree but I cant on the .400
                  pro tree(unless I just guess at it)... this is with my race car and it normally
                  has a 1.19-1.20 60'..... but to the OP question.. its been a .500 sportsman
                  (full) tree in the years past
