For the same reason a store can't be both a WalMart and a Target at the same time, despite selling the same kind of goods.

Daytona in anyone weekend will have several race series. In a year invite NASCAR, Busch, IMSA, SCCA, TransAm, F1, F2, F3, Indy cars, Motocycle, Karts and other sanction racing bodies. None of those sanctioning bodies owns the Daytona raceway or any other sports car or road course or roundly.

Why can't a track pick up both NHRA and IHRA?
They allow other organizations and clubs to race?
It would be interesting if the two drag racing bodies would create matching classes and compete similar to the AFC and NFC.
Already we have independent drag racing organizations drawing huge audiences without ownership of NHRA and IHRA.
Got to be a lesson there.

Then could organize and have a huge bragging rights national shootout.
It would especially help the distance prone western tracks to get more big races.
More revenue would help tracks upgrade facilities.
Especially restrooms and food quality.
Attrack more public even for non racing events.
Though it is mostly a male sport it seems to forget women and kids....
Especially attracting the excitement of kids who are the new racers of the future.

GALOT is not a Box Store...it is a Race Track.
Needs racers and fans...

Having mutual support from both NHRA and IHRA will make this huge investment of a track Rock!

Just my 2 tenths.
