Re: For Your Reading Pleasure....
Just ran some numbers from the NHRA event registration site for the first 6 races this season---total quota 2849
total entries 2536
percent of quota 91%
pro entries 427
sportsman entries 2109
pro percentage 16.8%
if you take out G'ville & Charlotte because they also have PSM & PMOD you end up with the average Pro participation of ONLY 12.9% or 224 pro vs. 1726 sportsman---so you can see what is really going on here folks
2109 sportsman entries 6 events @$350 + per car & driver entry=$738,150
1726 sportsmanentries less G'ville & Charlotte @$350 +per car &driver entry =$604,100
plus add in any pit crew @ $80 each
They could run one round of the ALL the pros with 2 minutes per run allowed and do the whole thing in about 90 minutes so that the first T/fuel car with 50 min between round service could be sitting in the staging line to make another pass with 40 minutes to spare after his first pass
NHRA definately needs the sportsman there is know way they could get by without us unless they split the pros and sportsman and made the Nationals pro only and 2 day events--works for me how about you??? FED387
