The state of NHRA

The idea of the alcohol cars going to be at regional and not divisional races will be a catch 22 for the other sportsman classes. NHRA will use the lack of alcohol cars as an excuse to raise the entry fees due to the fact that there will be less spectators coming to just see the normal program. A divisional race will be just like a Saturday night at a bracket race, with no spectators, the alcohol cars are what draw the crowds at divisionals whether you believe it or not. I personally like the idea of no alcohol cars, but I don't go to divisionals lately either. $180 to race for a $1000 doesn't make sense to me, when I can race for the same $1000 with an entry fee of $50 at my local track. That's is what is killing the NHRA program, I love stock, but I have to stay logical when I decide to go where to race.
