So why aren't tracks making money on divisions ?

There is a good possibility that Redding will have a natl open in May. That would be the only chance to set a record

I guess it’s too much to ask Sonoma Raceway , centrally located and great facilities to get a divisional race! Damn shame!

NHRA brings in their own crew to run the LODRS events. I have heard they charge the track around $30K for this "enhancement." So the track operator is already in the red before the gate even opens.
