As I said to start... I don't anything about how to do it...
this is just quick math that may or may not be correct LOL

I don't think any track owner in today's financial situation would agree to split the entry fee and run a race like that with only 22k. By the time they pay knowledgeable track officials to oversee class racing, traction compound and all the other costs associated with running an event, I think they would rather run a no.prep race or a test and tune and clear better money. Racers talked about how NMRA was so great and payouts were great for what the entry fees were and you see where that got them.
As much as people complain on how much we pay at divisionals and how little the payout is, track operators complain it almost isn't worth their time hosting the race. It's not just one track saying that, it's many tracks that say that. I am not sure IHRA is looking to host races and not make any money for the "Good of class racing"
