Well maybe they need to run it at different tracks each season to give it more exposure. Another idea would be to make sure it's run at tracks that don't have PSM, like Brainerd for instance.

How is wonky scheduling Forrest Lucas's fault? Talk to NHRA or your Division Director. You know how many people ask Forrest Lucas for money for their car .... Only everybody. He can't say yes to them all. I am sorry your experience with the Lucas family is not what you would like it to be, but sportsman racing as we know it would not be what it is without the Lucas Family. Drag racing is MUCH better because of the Lucas family.

I am sure Forrest Lucas has a lot of weight when it comes to the Lucas Oil series too Guy. LOL.
But at some point, you just have to cut the check and hope the people you have hired know what they are doing. Forrest can't do everything for everybody, there aren't enough hours in the day and ultimately, it is not the best way to spend his time. If the D2 alky racers are pissed about the schedule, let NHRA and your Division Director know, not much can be done about it at this point, but hopefully next year will be better.
It must be noted that since NHRA went to the regional format for the alky guys, there are big holes in everyone's schedule. This is by design so there aren't divisional races on top of each other lowering car counts.

Mayb u shud axe Evin Nole for halp
One thing someone mentioned above had me wondering. It was said that if PM had a full series then they would run into the same money issues that Pro Stock does.
What if we lowered the number of events that Pro Stock attends? The cost of them to race now is through the roof and they can't get the funds to keep it rolling. Maybe take them away from the double events (Vegas. ZMax, Pomona) Only do 1 of the Texas races, maybe drop one more. Along with PM and PSM that would make 3 part time pro classes. NHRA can make sure at least 1, if not 2 of them are at every race. It might make the teams able to stretch their cash a little further.
Not saying I'm in favor of it but it does have me wondering.
