Not to mention that they help keep tracks open. Heads up is just too expensive anymore. All from x275 to promod and rvw which is pretty much a millionaire club btw. Bracket racing still let's a guy with a $5000 car the ability to go out and race and not have to worry about going faster year after year to keep up with the competition. We've ran everything from pro, superpro, quick 16 shootouts, prostreet, 10.5 outlaw and promod.
After 30 years we're done because of various reasons from health issues to just the simple fact of how much $$$ it cost. Plus everybody wants to see no prep stuff which we would never do. Throughout all those years of helping my dad race, the bracket racing and quick 16 or 32 events for us anyways we're the most fun and a less stressful times no question.
I mean we've discussed the issue many times when we ran heads up which is how do you go rounds when you have others that'll kick the rods out of a $60-100+ engine just to go to the next round? So we just did our own thing and yes lost a lot because my dad didn't rag his equipment out ever. But we did win a few as well including a 10.5 outlaw track championship. But after 30 years of racing 100% on his own dime it's time to move on to other things.
