Michael,
I understand what you mean, I was just being a smart ***.
So, you like the low car counts, right? Is that part of the reason you don't run more NHRA races?
About the D2 payouts, that is just my guess of how it should be. Mary Meints posted a thread about it earlier:

Maybe she will update that thread when she finds out.
