>>
NHRA semi-final finish = $650
Dad's semi-final finish at IHRA = $150
<<

NHRA Entry fee: $235-$260??? Don't even know these days. Try to find that info online anywhere! Last year, it was likely somewhere about $100 higher than IHRA.
Extra day off work to run an NHRA National. (let's say $360 for a .. "well-funded" team)

Difference between NHRA/IHRA semi-finals: $500. Difference in expenses: Almost $500.

Regarding oildowns, the money's not a big deal, but when it comes to return on investment it is a big deal? It's only a few cents per car, per race, right?

I won't defend what IHRA wrote, though. IMHO, it was a 'feel good' story from Mooresville, and it could've been left at that.
