I think I am going to get in on this discussion. Maybe they will have to go down to 8 car fields and can hopefully up the sportsman entries. They (NHRA) haven't figured out yet that Pro teams cost them money and sportsman racers bring them money just on entry fee alone. I am not sure on this but the Blue Def pulled a lot of sponsorship from teams like Dan Fletcher and I had thought it was just to cover Force but maybe not. Corporate dollars might not be as easily accessible as the big teams are used to.They can easily run most events in a 3 day format which would make life easier for the sportsman racer with taking time off from work. but until the stands are full they are missing out on cubic dollars from concessions, merchandising, not to mention local hotels and stuff like that. There are bigger issues for sure,more so than Force, Torrance, or Salinas.

Not sure how many times we all have to go over this.... Typical National Event: say 1,000 sportsman entries, car and crew x $350 each $350,000 100,000 Spectators over the three days, at an average of say $40 each: $4,000,000 And this is not counting all the promotional items sold to the spectators. The fuel cars bring the spectators, and the spectators pay for it. Which allows us to play with our expensive toys at the big show. |

Hi Kevin,
I think you misunderstood what I meant. I was talking strictly entry fees. For right now there aren't going to be any fans or very few. I am well aware that most people go to the National events to see the nitro cars. The NHRA will need to get some dollars from entry fees as there will not be the big crowds that they are used to. So maybe try and get more sportsman entries at the national events. Just how I see it C.P. 6664 Drag Pack |
