Juniors have their own Divisional or bracket finals and they have their own National event(s) two.
So it's basically the same argument we already have like most Stock/SS racers think .90 racing is stupid and boring, or what's TD and TS nothing but bracket racing here for? I just see racing, enjoy watching it all and it all belongs.
The Jr programs are basically non-existent in my area so for my kids this is basically all they are going to get. Typical bracket races around here will have 1 or 2 Jr's show up. I will agree that maybe up in division 1 and 3 with the large car counts it is hard to get all of it done in a timely manner but do we sacrifice some future racers in the name of finishing a race a couple hours earlier. Here in Division 2 I think the tracks need them to help make viable to hold a race when you have 25 or 30 show up on a regular basis which is more cars than Super Street typically draws.
