While I do not want that to change, I do think that is the other thing keeping guys away. NHRA is the only pro mod series that runs 1/4 mile. They currently don’t pay any round money outside of winner and runner up so even a small amount of cash to help cover some travel costs would get more cars. Of course I’m spending money that isn’t mine but I think it isn’t too unreasonable. If they could come up with $500k (10 races/50K per race) and pay $3000 to qualify and $1000 for the top two alternates they would instantly have full fields. If they paid qualifying money they would have full fields at every race.

They have talked about giving the non safety legal cars a two or three race waiver which would allow them to compete on a limited basis. I think doing Gainesville, Charlotte (2), Indy, Virginia, Norwalk, Dallas, Bristol, Vegas and Houston or Topeka would help. The racers that did venture out to Denver and Brainard loved going there they probably need to eliminate both tracks due to the cost to the racers.

So what can NHRA do to get the class healthy again? The racers have asked for 10 races instead of 12. The safety requirements will still keep most of the local guys from competing. Now adding the screw blowers to the class will not make much of a difference with the submitted weight and blower overdrive except cost the few willing to try it more money. acer NITRO 5 Ryzen 9 Octa Core - (16 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/8 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070/144 Hz) AN515-45 Gaming Laptop Rs. Both races caused a large increase in costs. NHRA also thought it would be great to expand the series to 12 races and to some places like Denver and Brainard. Add in pandemic which not only affected some of the businesses of racers it also pretty much eliminated the out of the country racers. To get parity back they have continued to tweak the rules but every time they do it of course costs the racers more money eliminating more of them. The pro charger proved superior causing more to switch or quit. The rules killed off most of the turbo racers, some switched to the pro charger combo while others stopped racing. To make the change they would then be at a disadvantage when they run other series’s like MWDRS or PDRA. The changes caused most of the local non NHRA cars to be illegal. They made some safety rules that were not cheap but it also added weight to the cars. Going into 2020, it looked like there was going to be 30 plus cars at Gainesville.
