Yep!!! This has been brought up so many times that NHRA and the tracks have to be against it.
I was the track announcer at Pomona for the Street Legal drags for 7 years. I leaned on the manager for years to do this and finally, one Saturday we did it, Spectators loved it. Racers learned what Bracket Racing was about. It was fun as heck. Computer operator whined and and cried and so that, was the end of that.

Make racing fun? You must be kidding

I don't understand what the computer person was complaining about - don't they have to enter an E.T. or an index for EVERY car?
Just think (from any spectator viewpoint) about seeing cars RACING each other instead of "why is that slow car trying to race that fast car" comment every other pair. Might keep people in the stands, maybe even interested.

Just like the old Corvette modifieds in the other post, I love the starting line more so than the finish line. The sounds of the engine screaming and hammer dropping still to this day sends chills up my spine. Don't care who wins just keep bringing them to the line. Average joe spectator loves a chase (faster car going after a slow car) a natural animal response.

I think that it might let the average fan help to understand it better. With a little bit of luck it might even lead to a little more interest in the different cars and combos which might lead to a trip into the pits to look at the different cars and combos which might lead to some discussions with the owners of the different cars and combos. Am I running on?
