Will the bracket races at Bowling Green be 1/8 or 1/4?

Thanks!

That is what I have heard but when you look at the website it shows 12.99 and faster. Makes me think it might be 1/4.

Thanks for the reply,
Terry

BG will be 1/8 mile.
A cut/past from the online rulebook, paper rulebook reads the same:

"All classes in Bracket competition will run quarter-mile with the exception of Silver Dollar, GA, and Bowling Green, KY, which will be run 1/8-mile."

A link to the rule book page: "PDF file"

As far as the 12.99 break goes, I've never seen it applied to 1/8 racers at the NMRA series bracket races. I've seen many 6 sec 1/8 mile cars in B2 at both Reynolds and BG that would have been too fast if the 12.99 break was applied to an 1/8 mile conversion.
