I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness

How is everyone missing the point? Lets say 16 cars show up in T/S, and 16 in SS. The track pays out $7900 to T/S and $2,300 to SS. Oh, we need more cars. Lets say 32 SS cars show up, Now they pay $2,500 out to SS, 64 cars equals a $3,100 payout. Thats not even half of what they pay T/S no matter how many show up. What do you think, more than 64 cars makes a difference? Try and tell me its the lack of support that causes low payouts again!

Whats so special about a T/S car anyway? You can't tell me that the avg Joe that comes out prefers watching T/S over S/SS. I'm not bashing them. They are cool in thier own right, but Its that kind of second best attitude that lets this kind abuse happen. Maybee some of you should look into cuckoldry with your attitudes toward this.

I'm not mad at IHRA, just can't afford to travel with this kind of possible winnings. I believe alot of people feel the same way, which explains the low car counts. My goal here is not to ruin IHRA's image. I really want them to succeed. I love going to their races. Look it up. I have just as much fun, even with less cars, and I sure wouldn't mind parking way in the back if a bunch of cars show up. With the kind of excitement about a $5000 guarantee, and $10,000 later this year, seems that if IHRA would throw a little equality in thier payout plan, then maybee, just maybee more cars will show. NHRA is just as bad, but not on thier NATIONAL event payout

Whenever you sit down to plan your schedule for the year, Tell me you don't figure in risk vs reward. If you answer no, then your one of the few who can trully afford to go no matter if you blew an engine on every pass.
