Maybe this is the reason that some tracks don't want to have a divisional event....

Here's something for everyone to chew on when I was out in Arizona for the D-7 race at Firebird we had lost early and since Tuscon was the next weekend we loaded everything up and headed to SIR. Now the track owner is good friends with my buddy John Taylor and he was telling us that he has to pay NHRA $ 20,000 to have a divisional race there for 350 cars. If he gets more then 350 cars he has to pay an additional 100 or 200 dollars to NHRA per car over 350. Talk about crazy since NHRA is already getting 165 to 175 per racer to enter the actual race. Not sure what the cut is for the track on the entry fee but, he has to have a booked in program (Pro Mods) since they bypassed TA/FC and T/AD at the track this year so he can try to bring in spectators.
