I think you answered your own question in the previous paragraph.

It's not that the money races aren't worthwhile on their own, but if you've committed to the NHRA trail then you already have a lot of weekends on the calendar and runs on your stuff.

I used to run a lot of 'medium bucks' races all around the area, and still will on occasion. For me, the slower pace of NHRA races are part of the appeal. The purse could be a lot better, but the exposure is also lower. You aren't ringing up a $5K+ tab in a weekend, the race is going to be 6-7 rounds, and you won't lose in the semis to the car you beat first round.
