NHRA National Event Purse

[Charley Downing]

Thanks Joe

This is the point I was trying to make how can NHRA advertise payouts based on 128 car fields when they limit the car counts to less then 64. False advertising
INDY is the only race of the NHRA Mello Yellow event schedule that comes close to 128 cars fields.
I did the math on The Winternationls last week and for STK and SS. NHRA took in (109 paying entry's out of 121 total entry's )$35520 in just entry fees (no crew tickets) from races and only paid out only $14,800 in purse money total for STK & SS, when there claiming somewhere near $27,600 purse money total . I'm not real good at math but that's missing your protection by around 50%.
The payout system is also based on a 7 round race which NHRA limits the car count so that can never be attained.
