Running a national event is doomed for failure without Sportsman.
Other race tracks in the past have tried this with zero results ask Bill Meyer

I doubt they will be able to let spectators in at these two events. So they are using the bracket program to bring in some cash money. They might be surprised that bracket racers don't like to sit around for several days to run one event so they probably wont get a big turn out. It will be interesting to see what the results are

Plus Bracket Racers aren't going to spend 3-4 days sitting around to race for $1500 with $300 entry fee.

Indiana is on track to be 100% opened up by July 1st. So I would fully expect spectators at these events.

Some are not old enough to remember but NHRA tried Pro only already. In 1972 the last race of the year was TF, FC and PS at Ontaria, CA. Think they called it the Supernationals. No filler so it didn't go well. In 1973 they added Pro Comp and motorcycles and apparently that didn't go well because in 1974 it was back to all eliminators as it was in 1970-71.

They are allowing limited spectators; you must be an NHRA member or a 2020 Indy ticket holder to purchase tickets to these 2 events.
