John,
That's a great story. When I was a kid, we had a primitive light bulb sytem that showed 1st-4th. But the elimination brackets quickly bored most kids. Thanks for being an innovator and making the PWD more enjoyable.

Re: Pack 976 Derby Winners Announced
Right you are. Any kind of elimination system comes with two fatal flaws: An early meeting of the two truly fastest cars make the second-fastest worth nothing. Far worse, it creates unhappy kids. When the kid gets unhappy, his parents lose interest, and when they think nobody is looking, edge out the door. With computers and non-elimination software, these flaws are history, the PWD reaches its full potential, and everyone stays engaged to the end.
