Should NHRA lower the entry fees & raise the payouts in '09 ???

I went to 6 Nationals in 2008 and the biggest crowd was always on Friday, the cheaper day to attend.
From there the attendance fell off in all but one which was Pamona Finals.
At Pamona the stands were full most of the time and even on Sunday they were not completely full but almost. The opposite was Monday at the US Nationals in Indy. The stands were almost empty for final eleminations on Monday this year. I had been there 2 other times and attendance was dramatically down for 2008.
I expect fees to go up and attendance to fall off in 2009. I know I will not be traveling and racing as much in 2009.
