I've been hearing about the death of bracket racing since I started hanging around this sport some thirty years ago. For that matter, according to many folks, ALL drag racing has been on the verge of death for quite some time. The invention of the internet has further compounded the predictions of it's demise. I still see some of the same people today that were at the track thirty years ago. If not them, I see their kids or someone that hung around with them. Sure some people have quit, but I'd be willing to bet there are more bracket racers today than there were in years past. Maybe not at your track,but if you total the tracks all across the country, there are more racers than ever.

I'll even go out on a limb and predict that most of us are dead and gone before bracket racing draws it's last breath.

Let's call it evolution. Yep, that's it. Bracket Racing is evolving.
