13 Feb 2009: We recently heard a rumor that one of our local tracks was not going to provide payouts at bracket races. However, after contacting the track they have indicated this is false.
I suggest before racers & fans start posting rumors all over the internet and various blogs, that they check with the SOURCE beforehand!
