Bracket Racing

What is Road Bracket Racing?
RBR is a way to test your skills and compete on a level playing field against other drivers and vehicles
After a practice session ,You tell us what your lap time will be during a timed session
The person with the closest three runs is the winner!
How it works:
We will zip tie a transponder to your vehicle during the Tech Inspection
You’ll complete a quick ~1/2 hour meeting to explain how the event works
Participate in a timed practice session in the Morning.
Choose your target lap time based on the timed practice session runs
We’ll place you out on the track by order of fastest to slowest to minimize traffic
Drive your session and try to get as close to your chosen time as you can.
Your best times will be used to score your runs. The lower the differential, the better your score.
Basic rules:
Point to pass rules… no driver may pass unless they are pointed by the leading driver
NO wheel to wheel racing! All passes are completed in controlled zones with driver acknowledgment
If you’ve run an Open Track Day at Waterford Hills, you already know 90% of the procedure!
