Bracketstars Mission: To bring people together who have a love of cars and hot rodding while preserving the past and creating exciting events for the future!

Bracketstars is run and directed by Carl Thorsett. Based out of Enumclaw WA. The name Bracketstars was the the result of our drag racing roots. Bracket racing is the most popular form of drag racing. More people participate in bracket racing style drag racing each year than any other type of automobile racing in the world. The reason is that anyone with any car can fit into a class and go racing. Bracketstars originally was created as a website to feature and support local bracket racers.

In 2008 the idea of Bracketstars was born. The theory was to create an online contest for racers all across the country to come together in one place to post their performances and get featured. Tell stories and feature pictures from around the drag racing culture. The stars of drag racing on a local level. In Feb 2009 Bracketstars.com went live online and we started to promote our program to the racers. After the 2009 season was over it was apparent that Bracketstars had a much bigger future than originally thought. With our love of cars and people who enjoy the same sport we decided to expand into the car show world.


In 2010 Bracketstars hosted and produced 22 days of car shows in four months May - August. Our biggest event of the summer was The Hot Rods and Harleys Fathers Day Car show and Swap Meet June 19th - 20th. With a open door policy to all years makes and models we enjoyed bringing together all types of cars and motorcycles and working with great people.
