Guess so, because T/S, T/D, Comp, T/AD, and TA/FC all get paid more than S/SS in NHRA, too.

What's your proposed entry fee and payout structure for Stock and Super Stock?

don't know about your car but my stocker is a Terrible ET car!
Are you for real? last time I was @ a Div. race or Nat. , stockers had shoe polish on the window and if you ran out you lost, just like a footbrake( ET). car .
You guys need to get over yourselves .:eek:

People my age arn't that stupid, and maybee thats why S/SS is dieing off with all the old addicts. I should just build a fast bracket car cuz the payout is better, right? You people tear me up with wanting it both ways. Your not going to get people in the class if its stupid to run it.

BTW, when I was in NC for 2009 TOC, the et bracket program had the best payout on the grounds by far. Don't tell me they don't run for anything

I just wanted to say the ET race at the 09 TOC was for the summit super series race which is a totally different ET program at the national events....im just curious how much is NHRA going to pay those Alcky funnies this weekend for the short field per rd won...

When are these races? I would love to go, even if I am in Arkansas. Beats divisional races for sure.

...which is analogous to NHRA's Summit ET Series championship runoff at Pomona, where the winners get $5K. (Albeit nowhere near what the IHRA Summit E.T. World Champions earn) Both sanctions pay the championship runoff qualifiers tow money. As Brandon said, these are totally separate programs from class racing and the standard national event. Information regarding these other series is readily available.

IHRA does have a Bracket World Champion. How do I know because I won it in 2010.
To Qualify:
Win your Local track Championship
Win Runoff against all track champions in your division
Then you go to the world Finals and race against the 6 division champions plus 2 wild cards drawn fron Track Champions that don't have a bracket finals.

In 2010 I got a
Turn Key 2010 Miller Dragster (value $50,000)
$10,000
$1,000 in tow money
Gold Card for Nationals and divisionals
Silver Card for Bracket Racing
Diamond World Champion Ring
$800 Gift certificate from Simpson

Pretty good Payout for a bracket racer maybe ya'll should try it.

NHRA bracket program is way less.
They pay $3500 in tow money against your winnings.
The winner only gets $5,000 less the $3,500
Ask Tim Griffith he won it in his jeep.
FYI
