With the fan base dropping off, back office money, along with membership money can only go so far for the sportman ranks before NHRA pulls the plug on sportsman going to national events. National events will become pro events only, divisionals will be left for sportsman. Think "Monster Trucks" to kill time in between rounds of the pros.

They may but they shouldn't If you look at the actuall NHRA pay out it takes very few cars at the current entry fee to cover the payout. If any one tried to put on a race with the payout to entry ratio of a NHRA natianal (not counting contingency) no one would show up.
