About 10 years ago I think it would cost the track about $10K to host a Points meet,and I`m sure it hasn`t gone down since then,so that could be a factor as well. Most of the tracks that hosted Division Points races back in the mid to late 90`s when I was doing a lot of traveling,are down to Nat`l Opens or bracket race only. The little tracks out here just don`t host the events anymore. Basically,if you want to run for a Division title in the Lucas Oil series,you`re gonna have to spend a lot of money in fuel or gas out here.
Maybe NHRA could show some leadership and take a percentage of the gate for points races instead of an up front fee. Hard times mean things change. I hope to have my superstock car finished in time to compete some next year and I will not take long tows just to bracket race.
