it may not be the norm. i learned about bracket racing from some fellow
autocrossers who decided to try a straight-line motorsport for a change.
autocross cars are set up with different goals, and so they were in general
a lot slower than the drag racing crowd, so the mix of brackets may have
been a necessity born out of the unusual mix. at least one of the drivers
was in a stock 4 cylinder Porsche 914, and we all know how slow those
are (phenomenal handling, _no_ power. at all).

and there's no ihc content here, so i'll stop now.
