I just think that the days of relying on more money coming from NHRA are over. I think that a sportsman or class org similar to Nhra Pro Mods "RPM" group is the best chance sportsman racers will have to increase payouts. Create a privatized conglomerate that can seek sponsorship and contingency outside of NHRA. I'm sure there is some difficulty in doing this but it seems like it would be better than expecting NHRA to find or provide the money to increase purses. With as many complaints about how poor NHRA is in this area, it would seem that something like this would be beneficial whether its done in a class specific manner or includes sportsman racing as a whole. You would then become your own governing body and can act and move on your own interest whether that's sponsorship, rules, or something else.
