Default I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness

How can IHRA say that they are the body that cares about the sportsman racers? The way I see it, they care allright... about two classes T/S, T/D. Can anyone answer me why IHRA decided to structure the payout different in just those two classes. It sure didn't pay off in Palm Beach when they payed out over $5,000 and only took in $1,700 for 7 cars in T/S. S#!t, all you had to do is show up with a hunk of crap and slap a T/S on the window and your up a couple hundred even if you lose first round. with less than 32 T/D cars, I don't think they hit much of a profit there either.

Its all in the wording, T/DS get $2,500 win, $1000 R/U, $600 semis, $400 Quaters, $200 eights.
Now what does S/SS or .90 get? $1,500 win, $800 R/U, and here is the kicker, 3rd round loss $100, 4th round loss $200. So, if 16 or less show up (why would they with this payout) then your semi final performance gets a whoping $100. You would need over 33 cars and get to the semis to get your buyin back. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, we don't do it for the money. Clearly thats why people just flood to IHRA National events.

We have suported IHRA extensively in the past 3 years, but I cant stand for this crap. Take a look boys and girls, you would be better off entering your S/SS or .90 car in the box, no box.
