Where are they going to get 4-500 racers that will go to divisionals for 3-4 day to win a mere pittance, compared to the entry? Multiply that by 7-8 times for the privilege of getting abused at Nat'ls.
Divisionals have NO spectator gate, so that whole scam would fold.
Bracket racers know better. We lost that crowd decades ago.
We damn sure know they won't replace you with Import racing.
The ball is in your court.. I doubt anybody at NHRA has the promotional skills to replace you with anybody.

In the event of an attempted boycott of Natl Events, who would they replace us with?
Street Outlaws, Pinks (with that creepy announcer guy), 275Xcars, 10.5 tire guys, 8.5 tire guys, outlaw Pro Stock, nostalgia Pro Stock, nostalgia Super Stock (don't have to do any of the annoying tech stuff), nostalgia Top Fuel, nostalgia just about anything, wheel standers, jet cars, circus animals, clown, people with those tshirt guns, people making balloon animals, bikini contests, should I go on?
Secondly, there are enough people who want to win a Natl Event, they would say they were going to boycott and then show up anyway to try to sneak out an easy win. Don't even talk about boycotts, not going to happen and NHRA is just hoping for it to happen. Remember how successful the Modified Elim protest at Indy turned out?
