I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness

Gary,
What you need to understand is in 2011 T/S and T/D are paert of "THE SHOW" and SS is not. Top Fuel only had 2 cars at PBIR. I bet their payout was more than SS too. Guess what it's part of "THE SHOW".

What you need to realize is
a) SS gets paid well for a 3 or 4 rd race. With contingency most winners can leave there with $5,000.
b) With Qualifying on race day you only have to be there 1 day.
c) If car counts don't increase we won't be having this conversation. Our next one will go something like this: Remember the Good Ole Days when IHRA had SS and MODIFIED.
Part of this has already happened.
