Ok but the solution should have been to EITHER take away the single runs OR take away the money. NOT both. NHRA won on both ends of that deal while the racers got screwed on both ends. NHRA puts the blame on the manufacturers pulling out and economic times (all while raising their entry fees?). I guess they feel everyone is hurting but the racers? Heaven forbid they could have stepped up to the plate and tried to help by offering something out of their pocket to class winners. Doug Linke beat the piss out of his race car for four rounds in the combo at Etown for a trophy that said "Topeka" class winner on it and no contingency money. He's a better man than I.
