Let’s look at the facts They can do whatever they want charge as much as they wish and the customers fight to show up and spend their money. At least on a national event level they must be doing all the right things. Or there wouldn’t be people on here begging for spots to get in and spend their money. If you charge enough you don’t need large numbers. I would rather deal with 50 cars at $415 than 128 cars at $162

Now don’t get me wrong I agree that NHRA is evil and could do a lot of things better for the sportsman racers. But as long as they are turning away racers there is no reason for them to change.

That is not the way to grow the sport. The way they are doing it now will kill the present class structure as it is now. There will be no incentive to run the divisionals if you cant enter a national event with less than 5-6 grade points. The sportsman quotas are just too low. The problem is not with the sportsman racers it is with the way the events are run and the poor use of time by NHRA. It should not take as long as it does to run the classes especially the pros.
