For some folks, racing really is a hobby, and they would do it if the rewards were nothing but a trophy. For others, the potential for some kind of ROI, if their performance warrants it, matters. For purses to have remained nearly the same (or reduced) over the last 20 years, while every expense and commitment has drastically gone up, is pathetic. BUT I understand, the options are accept it for what it is or quit.

As far as the info is concerned, payouts and purses used to be published in the Dragster, along with other useful information. Now it's an ordeal to find it. Every bracket race on the planet has those details easily available. I was having a conversation very recently about Pro Stock purses and round money. I'm pretty handy with Google, but was unable to find that information for any of the Pro classes. NHRA used to brag about the $1,000,000+ purse for the upcoming XYZ Nationals - now they treat that information like it's a state secret. Why?
