Re: The Split
Only time I was asked to split was at an IHRA race. I had never heard of that. Thought it was just an IHRA deal. Guess it's a bracket race deal.

Re: The Split
I split one time, it was at an IHRA Sportsman Spectacular race. $5000 to win, $1500 RU seemed like a good deal considering the top heavy purse and my rear main seal was already leaking oil lol. Wouldn't even bother doing it with a regular purse I just want the Wally anyway.

Re: The Split
I have been offered several times but the only time I did was at a practice tree race in November and it worked out in my favor. In 09 when I was in the finals at Pomona for the Summit Championship where it is a winner take all ($5,000.00) and I declined. I did lose but have never regretted not splitting. I believe all the other times I declined it worked in my favor. I've been told that not splitting when asked was poor sportsmanship. I don't see it that way at all. However I always offer my opponent lane choice.

NHRA Doesn't pay enough to split.

Re: The Split
When the blue chip guys get to the end I think splits happen between them sometimes. Not for the regular hobby/part time racer.

Re: The Split
One of these days at an NHRA event I would love to be in a position to be asked whether I want to split or not.....LOL
When I bracket race I normally don't turn down a split at the semis or finals level

Re: The Split
Asked to split at Nat open and race for Wally. Original was 1000.00 runner up 200. He said no and I won. I don't see NHRA events being top heavy enough in Div and Nats to warrant a split. Last bracket race over new years was 3k , 600, 2- 125. The 4 guys running changed the split to help with the top heavy
