How's this for a novel idea.. NHRA pays back some of the money it collects instead of everyone relying on contingency. It's always amazed me how they post XXX amount for the event of which a lot probably isn't paid out because the majority is contingency. NHRA takes credit for a payout they contribute little to.

This is from the 2002 Gatornationals just to compare how nothing has changed.

Posted.................1,783,500
Contingency........1,094,150
NHRA/Track...........689,500

Pro Payout.............555,100
Sportsman..............134,400

As far as I can tell it's a double edged sword for sponsors. They have to pay NHRA then pay the racers who run their product. It should be one or the other with a decent payout back to the racers.
