Maybe, NHRA wants the racer to travel longer distances to get their points and that it would be too convient for the racer, thinking like NHRA, to have a race at a central location such as SGMP.

Why don't someone find out the real deal? I think the Alcohol cars are optional to the track owner, but I have been wrong before. Also correct me, but if I run my first three races in Div 2, then I'm in Div 2 I think. Hi Woody.

Over the last few years we had a D1 race at Atco without Alcohol cars. It counted as an out-of-division race, but I believe that was because it was the seventh race. I believe you can claim any division you want as long as you run three races in that division. it doesn't matter which three.

Posted on another forum by SGMP
"Ok guys I was going to keep my mouth shut but those of you that know me will understand thats hard for me to do.Here is the story it takes 330 cars to make payout. Having said that our car count was around 330 but of that only 301 were paid entries. 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." "Well thats pretty close but belive me when I tell you I would still like to do one just would like to get a little better date than we have now.We think that it is to much to ask the divsion racers todo that much that soon in the year and it hurts the racers and the tracks." I find it humorous that five guys that don't care and have nothing to loose, lead this sport around by a nose ring and no one does anything about it. |

Track operators need to look at the Baders and see how they promote their points meet. They advertise the race as a sportsman spectacular, they have a night of fire, wheelstanders,and jet cars ,the people like that crap. and they fill the stands with this. Other tracks should look at this type of promotion.
