CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Several Southern IHRA Tracks Switch To NHRA

Denny is right about the cost of a Divisional race to the track owner. When it takes nearly 400 cars as a break even point a lot of track owners will opt out for something more profitable. I'm not sure what NHRA charges a track for their Divisional program now, but before the Alky classes were turned to a regional series and made optional for track owners to run in conjunction with Divisional the Nut to crack was nearly 400 cars. It takes a lot of racer attendance for a track owner to pay NHRA and make money. NHRA may be listed as a 501C organization, but these events are definitely not for charity.
