All the payouts are pretty poor at the Divisional lever, for both NHRA and IHRA. 2002 is when I started racing in Stock on a more than one or two race basis. In 2002, an NHRA race was 125 to enter, and 4th round paid 175. This year, 170 for entry and 4th round pays 150. A net loss of $70 compared to then (pay 45 more to enter to get 25 bucks less). IHRA that year was 100 entry, 4th round paid 160. This year, 135 entry and 120 for 4th round (a 75 dollar loss). You have to go to the 5th or even sixth round of a race just to break even on your entry. In NHRA, the Divisionals are necesary because of grade points, ofr thos who want to race National Events.

These payouts...kind of makes the S/SS combo's around the country look better, eh?
