I think the question would be how much the entry fee will go up to pay for their raise

That is an excellent question to ask the Sportsman Council; are the sportsman racers getting a raise in purse as did the pro's and are the sportsman racers going to have another round of raises in their entry fee's to support the pro catagories purse raise.

It wouldn't suprise me, and I won't like it. That is, however, who they come to see. Not us. The stands empty when we run, even Pro Stock.

That's because NHRA does NOTHING to promote us. And worse, WE do nothing to promote OURSELVES. There's so much division in the ranks we can't get together and promote ourselves, everyone is too worried about what is in it for them, and how they can get over on someone else, if anything doesn't serve them above all else, they won't tolerate it.
