Bracket Masters History

Home

Bracket Masters Racing Team (BMRT) held their first meeting in January 1996.  Johnny Tate was the first president and he helped pick the original nine members.  Each person in that first group was Christian men who just happen to be racers.  To this day, the team starts and ends each meeting with a prayer. 

Currently the team has over 30 members; including honorary members.  Each member has one vote in team matters.  When a person is accepted as a member, their whole family is welcome at all meetings and events.  Honorary members are invited to attend all meetings, but do not have a vote. 

Drag Racing is the primary activity of Bracket Masters, but we are very proud of our involvement with the Baton Rouge community and especially the school system.  Team members volunteer time in local schools and we are invited to several Career Day activities each year.  The team is the authorized NHRA Youth Education Services (YES) program representative in this area. 

Each year in April, the team puts on a car show at Glen Oaks High School for the students.  We have given several car shows at local churches.

The Team has worked with the local Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, the Cub Scouts, many area churches and Holiday Helpers who help feed the less fortunate at Thanksgiving.  

The team has traveled to race tracks as far away as Budds Creek Maryland, St. Louis, MO, Dallas, TX and many of the tracks in Tenn., Miss., Alabama and Florida.  When the team makes a trip, it is a family affair.
