When Ken started this 3 years ago during the pandemic many people didn't have a place to race.
First of all, Kenny didn't do anything wrong. He has a great program.

A couple of friends were there for the Div. race.They then went out to Columbus for the supposed double Div. race there. Then they had to get back to get ready for Epping and Indy. Fact is , there are just too many NHRA races in the Summer months on the East Coast.

Going out on a limb here ,but I'd say that about 90% of S/SS racers do it for Wallys and for the ego. Most can afford to do it, so big pay independent races are a low priority.They don't do it for the money.
As John Prine would say, " That's the way that the world goes 'round "...
