Edit: I just read NHRA isn't paying their purse? They have a sponsor paying? That would explain it.

For whatever reason the Mountain motor version was widely popular here in the Carolinas for some time especially during IHRA's heyday. They had a strong following and did alot of stand alone events in the early 2000's. Some of it was pretty good racing but as sponsorship started drying up so did the equality of good side by side racing.
