If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

Contingency, I believe one of the reasons some of this has gone away is it has moved to other series. In the 80's you had NHRA, IHRA, AHRA and only a few others.
Now you have NMCA, NMRA, PDRA that all pay contingencies. Ducks races payouts are partially funded by sponsors.

At Cecil county street car races which occur once a month april till november, Strange and others put up money to increase the race purses and a end of season champion bonus.
So there are more places to race and the money is getting is spreading out across these series.

Are you referring to my post above your comment? If so you may want to reread my post. It has nothing to do with your so called Ghetto Racing. The point of my comment is that contingency has gone to other places away from NHRA

Pretty sure if Duck put on more than a couple races a year the sponsors and fans would leave too.

I've said for years that the NHRA has way too many national events. Time to start cutting them back.

Ok, here goes

Payouts seem to be a big issue so

Get all entries to pony up $25 cash, place in jug, jar, hat.
End of race hand to winner! Extra 1250-1500 per race based on 60 - 65 cars.
You want more try and wager on each round!
Ex. I get x second rd. X I got 50 on me!?!?! They take it or leave it!

Laugh at it, say it’s childish but part of the allure of the street thing is the money!

Same thing for class, u all want money to go up, then lay it out there!
Ex. A/sa at Indy! (Great job by all)

A/SA at Indy???? Don’t you mean the annual Steveie Wann Charity Fund???😂😂

[Scott Loge]

Yes Steve has been very fortunate but all could lay it out there.
Mark your in AA so let’s say each laid out 100
5 cars nets 500! Not sure about everyone but 500
Is $500.
We wanna fix payout it’s on us!

only to those that never get far enough to get paid but I like it, "Calcutta" entries have been happening for decades in bracket racing. I'm betting you start this at divisionals and you'll quickly find out just how many think they have the skills to win the event.

I totally agree on this no need for 24 races or at least not visit the same track twice

I do think they need to add a radial tire class that seems to be popular. Look at Duck's Lights out 10 !
