Pat, you couldn't have stated it any better. As far as sportsman racer, we all have an income range that allows us to participate in NHRA events. Some have higher incomes, some lower. When prices are raised, there will be racers at the bottom of that income range who decides it is no longer economically worth their time, money, and effort to participate in NHRA events. They will go elsewhere to race, reduce their racing schedules, or quit all together. When the prices are lower, you not only keep that group of people racing, you attract new racers because it is now economically viable for them to join and race in the NHRA.

The NHRA has to start from within. They need to cut internal operating costs which includes wages. In turn they can lower all fees associated with racing which will attract more racers.
