I would not make any decision based on this years car count. The economy is very bad and the price of diesel fuel is sky high. I would love to go to that race, even with it being almost 900 miles one way. With fuel at $5 a gallon I would have to spend between $1600-1900 just in fuel when you count the generator running also. I think the majority of people are running Divisionals that are close to home(chasing points). Until the economy turns around I do not think your races are viable on a financial point. We all have cars that we built for NHRA class racing. So NHRA is the main course and races like yours are truly a dessert. And who doesn't love dessert. But....if the main course has maxed your budget then most people will forgo dessert. Just my 2 cents.
