53 more cars competed in 2007 than 2000

What did we pay for a divisional in 2000??

I know it was 170.00 in 2007

Have the purses increased that much??

Maple Grove Collected $168,980.00 at the gate to race the Dutch Classic and Paid out Maybe 20,000.00
I know that we went to Reynolds Ga this weekend instead of the Dutch and they only collect $150.00 at the gate for a Divisional Event. That means the NHRA Div1 Collects 18,000 more than any other division and only pays out 500.00 more per clas for a win? WTF? Remember this is a hobby we dont do this for money so they can screw us
