Alochol has a payout of approx. $15000.00 but we do not collect any entry from them since the majority of them having gold silver or bronze cards so we eat that.Cost of an NHRA race is less just say twice or more of what Ronnie has said. They also get more on top of that for anything over 300 cars. We have made several attempts to work out some type of compromise with differant dates and other options but with little success.So please understand when I tell you it is not because we would not love to host the Divisional event at our faciltiy from a fincinal stand point it just does not work and this is not only the view point of our track but serveral others."

I suspected as much. That's what I figured went I saw the shorter schedule in some divisions for 2010. The check a track cuts and gives to the sanctioning body for the privilege of hosting a divisional event is over 10k. Some tracks just can't afford to gamble on taking a loss from hosting a divisional.
