Though purists do not care for bracket racing, it can be relative inexpensive, as for the most part, bracket racing is more about being consistent then going faster. Just as in the old days, you can drive the family sedan to the track and take home some $$$ and/or a trophy, if you are a good enough driver. I see it all of the time.

How true Tom. Some of my best memories (some including Red Alert when Bill S. owned it) are of when we would head up to Union Grove after working all day on a Wednesday night(about 75 miles each way), raced brackets and/or grudge for fun and then drove the same cars back home and then to work the next day. Most of us had daily driver type muscle cars that were in the 13 second to 15 second range. Don't think anyone ever broke anything bad enough to not make the trip home (lucky) and we always had a blast and even won a few trophies - for the cost of the gas up and back plus the entry fee. Low budget entry level grass roots racing at its finest.
