My two cents which is about .03 too high is for NHRA to LOWER entry fees.
1. help mitigate travel costs
2. benefits everyone, encourages participation
3. doubling purses impacts what, 6-10 racers and comes nowhere near costs of this hobby
4. pay contigincies at track and get reimbursed by sponsors thru contract, one check at trophy presentation
5. sliding scale on oildown if needed at all; if I oil track the entire length and cause an hour downtime, I should pay $250! You pull over to side, or an oil rag wipe up at 300' it should be little or nothing
6. TRACK PREP, spend some money on starting line hook
7. creative spending to enhance descretionary experience of attending/participating
