This may come as a shock to some but a track has to pay a substantial fee to NHRA just for the privledge of holding a divisional event. Their advertising, staff and operational costs are all up for the weekend then they are responsable for covering payouts. No idea how that formula works but what was once an event that made a little money for a track is now becoming a burden for some.

Lower car and spectator counts hurt and there's alot of reasons for that. I agree that the pay-in VS pay-out is completely lopsided but as been often discussed here, this deal is broken from the top down and I don't think it will ever get fixed.
