The backbone of the sport

“If actors or television shows were to cease, of course there would be some out of work and some hardships but life would go on. Should all the carpenters, plumbers, truck drivers, etc., stop working, the world would essentially stop.”

Can the same can be said for sportsman/bracket/heads-up racing?

Well, if you were to take away the Sportsmen, the traveling Bracket Racers and the local Racers it would be pretty hard for most tracks to keep the gates open. Where are the pros going to race if they don't have any tracks?
