A lot of times, not the fastest car on the track wins the event. The track along with the Drag Racing Chairperson will manage the bracket eliminations. We have created a women's class to run first for those husband and wife teams. Other than that we cannot share cars with same sex drivers. It creates too much of a delay in the process.
