The smaller divisionals are hard pressed to make anything at all . They just do it as kind of an ego thing,...to have a big race at their track.
Even with the bigger divisionals ,the tracks don't make a killing .
Why do you think there isn't a points meet at Weinle World anymore?

Thanks for the clarification Mark. If that's the case, then I don't know why ANY track would take on a LODRS event and then not advertise it. It almost sounds like some of the bigger tracks might be getting extorted by NHRA to take a LODRS event if they want their national event too.
Does every non-NHRA owned track host a LODRS event too? I'm going through the list in my head quickly and can't think of one that doesn't...
