Dirt track racing has faded around here and there are fewer and fewer tracks and cars. It was once a pretty thriving sport.....

Stock and SS racing IS bracket racing.......you can try to convince yourself it isn't but they give the Trophy and the $$$ to the guy who wins by cutting a good RT and running on his DIAL-IN.....Yes occasionally it is a heads up run for the $$$ but not very often......If you made racing flatout and the fastest guy wins....pretty soon you'd be right back to fewer and fewer cars showing up knowing they don't have a chnace unless they spend a fortune to run with the big dogs.....

It's simple economics...if a track can't stay in business there is no place to race. Spectators? You have to be joking if you think todays people will come to watch anything other than Nitro cars......Look at Nascar.....Empty stands except for the Cup cars.....
