At most divisional races the crowds are very small. The Alcohol cars don't pay for there selves in attendance. The other sportsman racers pay for there purse. It's time for Alcohol cars to be a national event only level categories.
Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock use to be contested at Division races before becoming National event only categories. It's time to do the same with Alcohol cars. Save track owners money and direct some of it to other sportsman categories purses.

Actually the Alcohol classes only compete at the regional races. Here in D2 that is the baby gators. I think other divisions hold one regional event along with the divisional schedule. I agree. The alcohol classes should be national event only. At the baby gators and Gators neither of the classes filled to make a full field. Track owners and promoters need to do a better job of promoting the events and attracting spectators into the stands. This has been discussed on many threads here on the forum in the past. We should not be funding the purse for the TAD and TAFC classes. They need to stand on their own 2 feet.
