This discussion points out the large void that exists between "Bracket Racers" and "Hobby Racers". Bracket Racers such as Bruce have an expectation that a race will be run under normal circumstances for NHRA Division 3, with crosstalk, autostart, courtesy staging, and the like used just like a Summit race at any of the 50+ tracks in the division. Hobby Racers are loyal to their brand first and attend Mopar-specific racing events without any consideration or knowledge of how a race should be conducted.

Bracket Racers will not tolerate cut purses, events called for low turnout (DRR), or purses never paid via mail (AHRA). There are too many good quality races in the area that pay well and are not brand specific. Hobby Racers will support a series with no rules just to keep the venue alive.
