Lets face it, the average person doesn't get bracket racing. Why didn't both cars take off at the same time? Why didn't the car that got to the finish line first win? These are just a couple of questions I've been asked about bracket racing. That's why the stands are mostly empty at bracket races.

Spectators are pure profit and if I were running a track I'd be doing whatever needed to to put a$$es in the bleachers.


Those are almost the exact words I've been using for the state of sanctioned racing meets here in the UK, apart from the pro classes thats all we have and throttle stop index classes.

However, the tide is turning this year with SPR having a (back to the 80>90's) heads up Doorslammer meet in May with a total of £75000 prize money across 7 classes, shame its only a 1 off event currently....should be a live feed of it as well.
