I think their's quite a few "class" racers that got their start as "bracket" racers. I have cut WAY back on my bracket racing .....the things that around here (southern oh, eastern ky & western wv) have turned me off to bracket racing are 1) buy backs! (nothing like beating a "hitter" frist round then have to run him again in a money round) 2) lack of a "footbrake" only class. we just have no box class & 3) piss poor payout for anything but S/pro (been to track many times where no box out # s/pro 2 or even 3 to 1 & then still pay the full money to s/pro!) that being said "class" racing is not perfect BUT if I put a guy on the trailer 1st round I don't have to worry about seeing him in the finals! Good luck to all the bracket racers! oh heck i just thought of something....left my shoe polish in the car in the trailer.....that stuff as frozen by now we've had a few nights in the 20! Guess I'll buy new in the spring!
