Actually, bracket racing is more demanding of the car and driver then heads up racing. To win at the big events and a lot of times even locally your "package" (total of reaction time and time over dial in) has got to better then the other guys every round leaving no room for a slow lite or any kind of hiccup in the car. The best car and driver combination is going to be the winner, whether that is a 10 second car or a 17 second car... This becomes the great equalizer, the biggest check book and the fastest car isn't always the best....

IMO drag racing hasn't been ruined, it's just been changed....
