Why tracks don’t want them: I would say it’s because they have to pay NHRA a hefty
price for having a Divisional race at their track with not a lot of spectators to off-set
that money that nhra gets.

Why No Crowd: Can’t really answer that one, but I can guess a lot of spectators want
to see Nitro Cars (no offense to the alcohol classes).
The average spectator probably can’t understand handicap racing & probably wonder
why the .90 cars (no offense to them either) take off, slow down and take off again.
If a spectator never been to a race & you try to explain these classes and Comp Elim
is another thing to explain about going faster than .50 under you get a index hit, the
average spectator is probably pulling there hair out. Or saying, I thought first one to
the finish line wins.
Just my take.
