I was under the assumption the major sponsors actually pay the purses at national events. In other words first Coke, now Camping World pays the pro purses and Lucas Oil pays the sportsman purses. Correct me if I'm wrong but I never thought that NHRA collected entry fees with the actual intent on using any of this money for purse money. Our entry fees and charges are presumably paying NHRA for operating the event. The participating track splits the spectator gate with the NHRA in a prearranged percentage and NHRA keeps the entry money to pay for operations at te\he particular race and to fund operations at the Glendale offices on the golf course.
