Perhaps if NHRA paid each TF and FC qualifier $20,000 you would see full fields again.
But there is that math thing.... $20,000 x 16 = $320,000 23 races $7,360,000 Both TF and FC $14,720,000.
OUCH! Hard to have anything left for bonuses.
I think the only way you will ever see full fields again is if it is profitable for a little team to make 2 runs and wind up in the black. The model works for match racing, it could work for the "big(kinda) show." Hopefully, the new NHRA development folks can shake the corporate tree enough to make entering their races, at the very least, a break even proposition.
