I think I am going to get in on this discussion. Maybe they will have to go down to 8 car fields and can hopefully up the sportsman entries. They (NHRA) haven't figured out yet that Pro teams cost them money and sportsman racers bring them money just on entry fee alone. I am not sure on this but the Blue Def pulled a lot of sponsorship from teams like Dan Fletcher and I had thought it was just to cover Force but maybe not. Corporate dollars might not be as easily accessible as the big teams are used to.They can easily run most events in a 3 day format which would make life easier for the sportsman racer with taking time off from work. but until the stands are full they are missing out on cubic dollars from concessions, merchandising, not to mention local hotels and stuff like that. There are bigger issues for sure,more so than Force, Torrance, or Salinas.

Just my 2 cents
