For a person just getting started in racing a .90 class is alot more appealing. If you want to compare apples to apples, the compare a low qualifing cheap s/ss car vs a good used dragster that might not run big MPH but wont get beat everytime he runs someone in his weight class. At least he has a chance, and he can run big money brackets and local brackets all day long. Now compare a Fast New S/SS vs a New Dragster with one of those huge motors. Still going to spend more on S/SS and wouldn't dare take it to a bracket race. How often do you think those .90 cars pull the motor down vs S/SS? Again, S/SS just isn't worth the money to a new player. .90 cars arnt either, but they have alot better shot of winning some back. If NHRA would at least Double the purse they would need, what? 10 more cars in each catagory. Not to metion the crew tix, and other moneys the track will make off of those extra entries.
