I didn't say don't have a bracket program at all, I said it will not get fans in the stands like grudge or heads up racing will.

I bet my left nut that the track could open once a month for grudge, and a heads up race (like 10.5, or SS, or both) and make more money than if they opened twice a week and ran bracket races.

But I understand that bracket races serve a purpose as well.

But, if someone is making business decisions- some form of heads up racing, whether it be organized or grudge, has to be priority number one if you want fans.

And track prep- there is more to it than dragging and glueing. From the times I have been there, it appeared that maybe they needed some professional help on track prep to get them headed in the right direction.
