Re: NHRA LODRS Divisional payout info?
I can go for the fewer rounds being a better race to make money at. Look at the round expense of running your car. That should be a factor, too. Don't just look at the expenses of entry fees,hotel and tow fuel. Most race cars I have eat, expensive valve springs, drink expensive fuel and wear out costly tires. As well as wear out Hi dollar converters and transmission parts and shocks. (If care is not taken Shocks can wear or get hurt riding long distances in your trailer)
Some cars operate round by round cheaper than others, but most real fast cars are costly per round. Do you have any idea what a round of racing really costs you?
With all of today's added travel expenses I'm of the opinion that if you have a bracket type car that operates cheaper per round than most expensive class cars you stand a better chance of paying for your chosen fun at local index or bracket races.
All of what I just posted has been a topic of discussion at my shop with many of my customers, even Circle Burners. You might be surprised at how each individual justifies how they race.
