Perhaps this is a problem that needs to be address at the top, beyond directors and tracks operators. What is NHRA charging these tracks to host these races? Is NHRA showing any flexibility given the current economic climate? Can tracks start trying to pack more spectators in and not put the burden of revenue solely on the racers' backs? How much is "glue" costing nowadays? I've heard lots of these timing systems run on Intel 386 processors from the 80s and utilize hardware from that time period. I understand it is a very tough time to own a track, does NHRA subsidize any member track improvements or help them in any way?
