Bracket racing does ok at my local track but they do much better with special events like funny car shows, nostalgia races , swap meets etc. The average car count in my class ( sportsman ) is between 30 -36 cars a week , pro is usually 40 -50 cars and super pro is 15- 20 for some reason that class has been suffering for a few years now perhaps they are out big money racing. We lost Englishtown a few years ago and that was a big blow , we almost lost Atco last year but it going strong now, my local track of 25 plus years closed briefly back in 2013 due to poor management luckily it reopened after a few months under new management ( same family only now ran by the 3rd generation ) Stock and Super/ Stock , S/ST, S/G S/C etc. seem to do well here in the north east between divisional , nationals and association races (.90 , Stock / Super Stock etc. ) We run 1/4 mile but lately some races are 1/8 mile including the Bracket Finals there is talk around that all racing might turn to 1/8 mile in the Northeast division I guess it will be discussed at the Track operators meeting in January maybe just for the Summit series I guess we will see. I lately prefer index racing on a 5/10ths pro tree my local track doesn't offer it so I have to go to Atco ( two hours away ) or Cecil County ( two and a half hours away ) both tracks do pretty well with their index programs
