Don't forget NHRA gave the Division Race two more classes to make payouts on a couple of years ago which increased their costs. Top Sportsman and Top Dragster were added but very few new cars were added and not enough to make up for the added payouts. Most of those class cars came out of Super Gas and Super Comp and those classes were reduced in numbers.
I had one track operator tell me that change took all the profit out of their division race the first year. I have not talked to him about it since that first year but I know a Division Race is not as profitable as a Big Money Bracket Race at that one track.
