Div Payout Info

I may be wrong (I've been wrong many times before), but this is the way I understand it to work. The track pays NHRA to be able to host a division race. The track keeps the entry-fee and spectator ticket money and is then responsable for paying out the purse set by NHRA. From what I have heard, this is why Carl doesn't run TAD and TAFC at the race in Orlando. The spectator ticket sales doesn't justify the purse paid to these classes, and I guess it is his option to make that decision.

Not sure how it works with tracks like Gainesville and Atlanta that are owned by NHRA, but I guess that money goes into the general track operating account and then the purse is paid from that account. Not sure if they have to pay to host the event or not.
