Well Mr. Fletcher has forgotten more about all of drag racing than I will ever know. However I don't see where anybody can say Comp is a bracket race.

1. You don't set your dial.
2. There are no breakouts.

Its handicap racing for sure, but not bracket racing.

Another observation is that I think this makes sense for the FS/XX cars as they only have eight races a year in FS/XX trim. However the SS/AH cars can run Super Stock at every national event. Between that and the tough index that does not make much sense to me but I might be missing something.
