Index Racing

Do they run races like this all over the country, or is this a local deal ?

It's bracket racing, but your dial in is set at the index. I don't know where you are but it's popular and growing. Why? you ask. Simple reason is it's more like heads up and spectators can grasp it better with both cars leaving at the same time. They don't allow throttle stops so it looks like a real heads up race. Some classes use transbrakes and most are on a pro tree, some .400 and some.500 rules vary.
