If you think electronics give you an advantage, and make it easier, you've obviously never done it. The guy in the other lane has electronics in his car too, so how does one have an advantage? If anything it makes it harder, because packages are tighter and MOV's are razor thin, so the driver has to make decisions and act upon them in an absolute SPLIT second. Bracket / index racing is demanding of the driver, you HAVE to be on your game because the car is not going to erase your mistakes like it will in a heads up grudge race.

To me, heads up racing is more boring. You normally can see who's gonna win at 60ft. And it's usually the car with the most money thrown at it. Besides, until you're outrunning Force or Hagen, it's just another type of handicap that your working with.

Lastly, why do so many guys here seem to think that bracket racers aren't also trying to make their cars faster? I know plenty of bracket guys, and most every one of them is constantly sharpening their blade.
