The $20 you spend on burgers and fries, and $10 on ice or $80 on a jug of fuel, or a $25 tshirt adds up for the race track owner and helps pay the employees of that track.
For Divisionals and Opens if I wasn’t paying $160 to run for $1,000 I’d be a bit more willing to help the local operator out, just maybe they need to cut a better deal with NHRA for hosting the event.
