LODRS (lack of) Payouts

Mark Yacavone · 08-11-2012, 11:25 PM

A friend just lost in the semi's at Cordova... $150.00 !

Doesn't even cover the $160.00 entry.

I know you don't do this for the money...but come on...

The All Star in New England pays more than that.

Forget about NHRA Sportsman ever being an entry level deal again as long as this points meet scam is perpetrated.

Put a fork in it , It's done..
Eat up ,boys

Just for giggles and grins I thought I would look up the payout at LODRS events in the different classes. I cannot find the payout posted on NHRA.com or in National Dragster. I can find how much it costs to enter the LODRS events but not how much it pays. Where does NHRA have the LODRS event payout posted?

Really, that is what inspired this thread .My friend asked me to look up what he was supposed to get, thinking they made a mistake.
I'll be damned if I could find that info ..They keep it a big secret because it's such an embarrassment.
I found that Div 1 and 7 charges an extra $10 entry, but the round money is padded up more.
I don't get The Ragster, but I've been told the Nat'l payout is hard to find too. It used to be at the bottom of all the event ads..I guess they're ashamed of that too.

Lets face it we are all red headed step children when it come to the NHRA. We can all make a lot more money going bracket racing

All the payouts are pretty poor at the Divisional lever, for both NHRA and IHRA. 2002 is when I started racing in Stock on a more than one or two race basis. In 2002, an NHRA race was 125 to enter, and 4th round paid 175. This year, 170 for entry and 4th round pays 150. A net loss of $70 compared to then (pay 45 more to enter to get 25 bucks less). IHRA that year was 100 entry, 4th round paid 160. This year, 135 entry and 120 for 4th round (a 75 dollar loss). You have to go to the 5th or even sixth round of a race just to break even on your entry. In NHRA, the Divisionals are necesary because of grade points, ofr thos who want to race National Events.

These payouts...kind of makes the S/SS combo's around the country look better, eh?

I race for fun don't anymore care about the purse ,now going to keep working hard as usual with my company selling so i can race and also will be taken Social Security in december as I will hit the big 66 years of age so all you racers go easy on me on the starting line lol
