I'm really not sure how much of a car count killer this would be? It's obvious, some who have commented on here wouldn't attend if there were buybacks. Would be interesting to see what true impact it would have on car counts? I've spent time both bracket racing and running stock. Buybacks are a part of bracket racing. No doubt about it. I've been on the winning side, losing side, beat the same person twice, and lost to the same person twice. I realize most in the stock/super stock crowd still want to have the separation between the two forms of racing. Fuel check, scales, heads up, etc. I'm also understanding of someone promoting the race having to make enough money that they make a profit and in turn continue to put on races. If a promoter has fuel check, scales, heads-up races, but includes buybacks. This is a small compromise. Second chance races are cool, but if I were racing in a 25K to win race and I lost 1st round. The opportunity to buy back into the 25K would be more appealing to me than the opportunity to get into a second chance race.
