I don't need a payout calculator to point out that those two $5,000 races are on your schedule because the risk vs reward is favorable. If IHRA were to give SS the same payout as T/S (not sayin they should be equal) then it would take 40 cars to pay it off. With that kind of money, I feel confident that 40 will show. Thats way better than a NHRA Div. As it stands, BR will be lucky to get the 15 cars it needs to pay off the current SS payout. Those extra cars usally come with a crew memeber or two, so that is money lost at the gate if you can't get them out to the track. See my point. In all actualality, you only need 30 cars and thier crew to pay the purse. If IHRA would increase the purse like this at all thier events, it wouldn't take long in my opinion to draw alot of NHRA only support.
