9 Super Stockers at a National Event?

This car count will probably stay low for IHRA, until they increase their purse or get some contingency. It's not worth making a trip more than 30 miles for a purse of $1500 and about $200 (maybe) in contingency. Local racers near each of these events will be the ones to support IHRA this year, unless a racers just wants to go racing to be going and not worry about any money.

If IHRA takes some of the money they are paying for the "show" and increase the purse to about $10,000 for the winner of each sportsman class and pay a decent amount from the winners purse back, they will get more cars than they know what to do with. Especially if this was a cash purse and you didn't have to wait around on contingency payments.
