Got down to 6 cars last sunday and runner-upped this weekend, 002 red on the tree. Car is happy! Also got the lettering on the car.

Sure was empty in the stands. Who puts these on that can afford for no spectators to show up?!?!
Car looks, sounds & appears to be performing awesome!

bracket racing doesn't usually get many spectators. It's a barely self-paying program.

Quick classes are qualified field
( $75 * 8 = $600 ) = (300+150+75+75 = 600 )
( $75 * 16 = $1200 ) = (600 + 250 + 75 + 75 = $1000)
This weekend we had 30 cars in E and 24 or so in NE (Kennedale was also racing 40 miles away so light turnout)
( $60 * 30 = $1800 ) = ( $1,000 + 500 + 200 + 200 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = $2300 )
( $50 * 24 = $1200 ) = ( $800 + 400 + 150 + 150 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = $1900 )
Total pay-in: ( $1200 + 1200 + 1800 + 1200 ) = $5400
Total pay-out: ( $1000 + 1000 + 2300 + 1900 ) = $6200
They lost money this weekend not counting utilities, supplies, and wages, but they made up for it with over 150 cars on property last week, and they rent the facility out a bunch. Smaller tracks usually balance the budget using friday/sunday grudge crowds.
I second what Steve said. Bracket racing doesn't have many spectators. Monroe has more than most. Usually a hundred or so. We had a pretty decent weekend. I made it to 5th rnd. I got put in the left lane and it was quicker. I was dialed 4.51 the guy I was running 6.41. It is hard to judge someone running 45 mph faster. It was a double breakout. I couldn't get on the brakes hard enough crossing the stripe.
very cool.
