Cutting costs. They're probably about to lay off some event support staff. No tech, no qualifying, and no stacking means less staff to pay.

Of course, those people make a mere pittance to begin with, and do it for the love of the sport and the racers. They're not where NHRA spends money anyway. But bean counters see them as unnecessary.

Does Force and Schumacher and other big teams pay a entrance
fee and pay for their pit crew or is it the little guys who pay to play.

If a driver has a Pro status (8 to 10 races entered the year previously) their entry and crews are paid. If no Pro status, they pay for entries and crew.

Is there any discount for entering two sportsman classes at a divisional or national event?
