Are you aware that 65 cars is a 7 round race? And that is before any provisional entries get in.
At this year's Gators in Super Stock, the 5th round loser gets $500 and 6th round loser gets $650. Do you honestly think that the primary motivation of cutting quota from 80 to 60 is to avoid paying two guys an extra $150 each? The Winner and R/U purses do not change.
If we assume NHRA is being honest about the insurance charge and the entry is $210, they are choosing to give up $4200 in entries to save that $300 to the semifinalists plus a couple more cars in the earlier rounds?
